Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
- Use the extractor fan
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
- Rinse away soap after showering
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they cannot be knocked over.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

The things clients generally mention when they call are:

Repairs by material
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Repairing versus replacing in St Budeaux
A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it is not: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. Repairing it takes one visit. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How it works
Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- 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 colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, you can use the shower.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Keep a parking space free if you can

Advice
St Budeaux questions
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
Yes. Add it to your quote and we’ll do both on one visit.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
When can I use the shower again?
We’ll give you the curing time on the day.
Do you cover the entire of Plymouth?
We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Yes, we do. We send a technician to St Budeaux for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
When a repair is not the answer
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- A tray broken in more than one place
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
