Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best:
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Store bottles off the tray
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Use the extractor fan
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.
When we’d advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Plumbing leaks under the tray

- How many areas need work
- Unusual colours or finishes

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Do you need shower tray repair in Quy Waters?
Most cracked trays are trays that flex: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Chips usually come from dropped bottles.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Chips caused during fitting
- A damaged area around the waste
- Chipped corners or rims
- A crack across the base
What to look for in a quote
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Aftercare advice
- How changes to the job are handled
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you manage property in Quy Waters, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.
The process
You don’t need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- The tray is left to cure and can generally be used the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Open a window if you can
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
