Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Get a moving tray checked
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you can’t see.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- What kind of damage it is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material
Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Send photos for a quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- The material, if you know it
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Roydon questions
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
Yes, if you’d like us to. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.
Can you fix a cracked tray?
In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Roydon.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Can you quote from photos?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Repair or replace in Roydon?
A new shower tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Roydon. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- 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.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Clear the area around the damage

What else we do in Roydon
Landlords, agents and businesses in Roydon
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Common problems we fix in Roydon
Cracks frequently start at the waste, because that’s where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.
Common reasons people in Roydon contact us are:
- Damage from a refit or building work
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- Movement when you stand on it
- A damaged area around the waste
What your quote should include
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How your room will be protected
- How the colour is matched
What a repair cannot fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Leaking waste fittings
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
