Should you replace it?
A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it is not: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair is one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Check the seal every few months
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- The repair is colour matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is generally usable the day after.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the damage
- Open a window if you can
- Keep a parking space free if you can
How to get a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Repairs by material
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Common problems we fix in Skelsmergh
On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed:
- Chipped corners or rims

- Scuffs and light scratches
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
