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 feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

10 questions to ask before you book

Questions from Swinden

How soon can you come?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

What happens next?

You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

We would stop using it until it’s repaired, because water may be getting underneath.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

How the visit works

The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Advice

How to care for the repair

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner

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

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