Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
Repair or replace in Montcliffe?
When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What we are called out for in Montcliffe
Trays crack mainly because they move: without a solid, level base underneath, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Chips usually come from dropped bottles.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it

Honest limits
We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- A tray broken in more than one place

Materials we work on in Montcliffe

- Ceramic
- Stone resin
- Acrylic
- Cast iron
What your shower tray is made of matters
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.
What happens on the day
The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- We ensure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, you can use the shower.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
How to get a price
