Aftercare tips

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Rinse the tray after each shower

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they cannot be knocked over.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you can’t see.

What happens on the day

Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray in most cases. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

How to get a price

What your shower tray is made of matters

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Why repair rather than replace?

If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is normally best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Common problems we fix in Horns Mill

Trays crack mainly because they move: without a solid, level base underneath, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

Common reasons people in Horns Mill contact us are:

  • Damage around the waste
  • A cracked shower tray
  • Movement when you stand on it
  • Chips on the edges
