Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
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.
DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
What we’re called out for in Pingewood
Most chips come from things dropped in the shower, generally along the edges or by the waste.
Clients generally contact us about:
- Cracks running from the waste
- A damaged area around the waste
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- Damage from a refit or building work
Comparing quotes
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- What prep work is covered
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Check the seal every few months
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.
Common questions in Pingewood
Do you cover Pingewood?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Pingewood. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
Only if you’re sure it is not leaking. Look for damp or stains below.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
Generally, if the tray is firmly supported. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.
How long does it take to cure?
You’ll get the exact time when we finish.
Do you reseal the tray as well?
Yes, if you’d like us to. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
