Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you can’t see.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Different materials, different repairs

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

When we would advise against a repair

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • A tray broken in more than one place

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Maltman's Hill. What changes the price is:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The type of damage
  • How much damage there is

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Getting a price from photos

You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any details about the material

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 price, not a guess.

Do you need shower tray repair in Maltman's Hill?

Most people contact us after spotting something like this:

  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • Damage around the waste
  • Scratches in the surface
  • Movement when you stand on it

What we do, step by step

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. The repair is colour-matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
  5. Once cured, typically by the day after, you can use the shower.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
