Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Rinse the tray after each shower

Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.

Questions from Mow Cop

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Check the ceiling below for damp.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

When can I use the shower again?

Normally by the following day. We’ll confirm before we leave.

What do you need from me?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

Yes. Add it to your quote and we’ll do both on one visit.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

What we are called out for in Mow Cop

Trays crack mainly because they move: without a solid, level base underneath, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Chips generally come from dropped bottles.

Clients typically contact us about:

  • Cracks running from the waste
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole

Before booking anyone

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

10 questions to ask before you book

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

What happens on the day

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Ensure the area is dry

Repairs by material

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, 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.

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How much damage there is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A photo taken from further back
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • What it’s made of, if you know

If you’re in Mow Cop and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
