DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
What happens on the day
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, tidy-up included.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
How to prepare
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Open a window if you can

How to care for the repair
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

When we would advise against a repair
A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Trays cracked in several places
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic
- Cast iron
- Enamelled steel
- Ceramic
- Stone resin
What your shower tray is made of matters
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
