Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Check the seal every few months
- Use the extractor fan
- Rinse away soap after showering
Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
How we handle shower tray repair in Lower Darwen
In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. We match the colour and finish so the repair blends in. We work on enamelled steel, ceramic and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are staining and dullness across the tray and movement when you stand on it.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Lower Darwen: your questions answered
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
What happens next?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
How long before I can shower?
You’ll get the exact time when we finish, usually the next day.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
The process
You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Ask for a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Work for landlords and builders
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.
When we’d advise against a repair
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- Trays cracked in several places
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Cast iron
- Ceramic
- Acrylic
- Stone resin
- Enamelled steel
Do you need shower tray repair in Lower Darwen?
Most cracked trays are trays that flex: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- A dull, stained or worn surface
- A cracked shower tray
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
Before you book anyone
- How changes to the job are handled
- How your room will be protected
- How to care for the finish
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
What your shower tray is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- The material
- Doing more than one item at once
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Details of any past repairs
- Where you are, by postcode
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
