Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Get a moving tray checked

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they can’t be knocked over.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Stanhope Bretby

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Which areas do you work in?

All of Staffordshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

Normally, as long as it doesn’t flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.

How long before I can shower?

Usually the next day. We will confirm before we leave.

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes. The whole tray can be resurfaced without removing it.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

What a repair can’t fix

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Trays cracked in several places
  • A tray that moves underfoot

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What happens on the day

We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. It’s left to cure, generally until the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
