Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Use the extractor fan
- Check the seal every few months
- Store bottles off the tray
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition 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.
How we handle shower tray repair in Ross-on-Wye
Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the repair lasts. We work on stone resin, ceramic and enamelled steel, and common reasons people get in touch are a tray that creaks or moves underfoot and chips caused during fitting.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee.

The process
Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
Getting a price
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.
