Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.
Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
What affects the price in Great Hormead
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Access to the area
- How many items we do on one visit
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Great Hormead. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Any details about the material
- One picture of the entire shower tray
- Where you are, by postcode
- One sharp close-up of the damage
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

What information do you need?

Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
What we cannot put right
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
