What your shower tray is made of matters
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

Repairing versus replacing in Hellman's Cross

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Use the extractor fan
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they cannot be knocked over.
Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.
