Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Check the seal every few months
- Rinse the tray after each shower
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you cannot see.

Questions from Springwell
When can I use the shower again?
We will give you the curing time on the day, typically the day after.
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Do you work in Springwell?
We do. We send a technician to Springwell for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
Do you reseal the tray as well?
Yes, if you’d like us to. After a repair is a good time to reseal.
DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Materials we repair
- Stone resin
- Acrylic
- Enamelled steel
- Cast iron
- Ceramic
Repairs by material
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.
What happens on the day
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we leave the room as we found it.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
Before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
