Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you cannot see.
Shower tray repair at your home in Taleford
You do not always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can usually be repaired in place, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. Typical jobs include chipped corners or rims and a crack across the base, in stone resin, cast iron and acrylic.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

Other services in Taleford
Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Taleford use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
When to call us in Taleford
Most cracked trays are trays that flex: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Chips normally come from dropped bottles.
Look out for any of the following:
- A dull, stained or worn surface
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- Scratches in the surface
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
What your quote should include
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

- What protection goes down before work starts
- What prep work is covered
Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
How it works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It usually takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- It’s left to cure, generally until the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Point us to the nearest place to park

Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
Repairing versus replacing in Taleford
Replacing a tray generally means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. A repair leaves all of that untouched. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
