Different materials, different repairs
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff:
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Store bottles off the tray
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.
When a repair isn’t the answer
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- A tray broken in more than one place
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

What happens on the day
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to look after it.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
Before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Ensure the room can be ventilated

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
For landlords and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around Liff, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Repairing versus replacing in Liff
Replacing a tray generally means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. Repairing it avoids all of that. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
