Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Rinse away soap after showering

Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.

Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.

Shower tray repair in Great Hallingbury, done in place

A cracked or chipped shower tray doesn’t always need replacing. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, which is far less work than a replacement. Whether it’s chips on the edges and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it, we can help, on enamelled steel, cast iron and stone resin alike.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it.

What we can’t put right

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Multiple cracks across the tray

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Access to the area
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book.

Quotes from your pictures

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

The process

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.
