Materials and what they mean for the repair
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
Signs you need shower tray repair in Old Dalby
Most cracked trays are trays that flex: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Chips caused during fitting
- Chips on the edges
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it

Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Store bottles off the tray
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.
