How to look after the repair

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Ventilate the room after showers

Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.

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.

About our shower tray repair in Milborne Port

We check the tray before repairing it: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, or the crack will come back. We will explain what we find. Whether it’s a damaged area around the waste and staining and dullness across the tray, we can help, on ceramic, acrylic and enamelled steel alike.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

How it works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  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, normally by the following day, you can use the shower.

Before we arrive

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let us know about parking or access

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 heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
