DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Do you need shower tray repair in Tanfield?
Dull and stained trays are typically down to cleaning: abrasive pads, strong chemicals and limescale wear the finish away.

- Damage from a refit or building work

How to care for the repair
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.
When a repair isn’t the answer

Surfaces we repair
- Stone resin
- Ceramic
- Acrylic
- Enamelled steel
- Cast iron
Repairs by material
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
