Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Get a moving tray checked
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Replace failing sealant promptly
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.

What your shower tray is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
Common questions in Forest Green
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
Do you redo the sealant?
Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
How long before I can shower?
Typically the following day. We will tell you the exact time when we finish.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
