DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Shower tray repair in Swarthmoor, done in place
If the entire tray looks tired, we can resurface it, for a clean, uniform finish. Typical jobs include scratches in the surface and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot, across cast iron, ceramic and stone resin.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

What your shower tray is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
