How we handle shower tray repair in Mountsett
Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. We match the colour and finish so the repair blends in. Common call-outs are for chipped corners or rims and snagging damage in a new bathroom, in acrylic, enamelled steel and cast iron.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

The process
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- The repair is colour-matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is normally usable the following day.
Getting ready for the visit

Mountsett: your questions answered
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Do you redo the sealant?
Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.
How long before I can shower?
You’ll get the exact time when we finish, normally the next day.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Do you come to Mountsett?
We do. We send a technician to Mountsett for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Repair or replace: which is better?
The tray is generally the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. A repair keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Why book with us
- We leave the room as we found it
- Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

- No extra charge for your area

Different materials, different repairs
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff:
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Check the seal every few months
- Get a moving tray checked
- Rinse away soap after showering
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
When to call us in Mountsett
A tired-looking tray is frequently the result of years of cleaning: abrasive pads, strong chemicals and limescale wear the finish away.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
