Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Use the extractor fan
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Stick to gentle cleaners
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.
Why repair rather than replace?
The tray is typically the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so taking one out disturbs a lot. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.

- How many items we do on one visit
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any details about the material
- One sharp close-up of the damage
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Plumgarths use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
