Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The colour and finish to match
- What kind of damage it is
- The material
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
Getting a price from pictures
Two or three clear photos are normally enough. It helps if you send:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A photo taken from further back
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

When a repair is not the answer
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Can I fix it myself?
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 generally cheaper.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
What we do, step by step
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, including clearing up.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
