What your shower tray is made of matters
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Common problems we fix in Maidenhall Estate
The waste is a common starting point for cracks, because that’s where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.

- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it

- Scratches in the surface
- Movement when you stand on it

Advice
Maidenhall Estate: your questions answered
Do you hold any accreditations?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, so Maidenhall Estate is covered. Prices don’t change with location.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
What happens next?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
We can. After a repair is a good time to reseal.

What we can’t put right
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

Materials we repair
- Ceramic
- Acrylic
- Cast iron
- Stone resin
- Enamelled steel
How to care for the repair
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Check the seal every few months
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Get a moving tray checked
Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.
