The process

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We ensure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. The repair is colour-matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is typically usable the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

What we can’t put right

A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • A tray broken in more than one place

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we repair

  • Ceramic
  • Cast iron
  • Stone resin
  • Enamelled steel
  • Acrylic

How to look after the repair

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below isn’t visible.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
