Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Replace failing sealant promptly

Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below isn’t visible.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. 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. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

How it works

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Clear the area around the damage

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

For landlords and businesses

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

What a repair can’t fix

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

  • Stone resin
  • Cast iron
  • Enamelled steel
  • Acrylic
  • Ceramic

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How much damage there is

Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Quotes from your pictures

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any details about the material
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.
