Shower tray repair in Great Offley, done in place

Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the crack does not come back. We are often asked to fix chipped corners or rims and scuffs and light scratches, on acrylic, stone resin and ceramic.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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, it’s worth having it done properly.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

How to care for the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Get a moving tray checked

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.

What happens on the day

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • A tray that flexes
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
