Common call-outs are for scuffs and light scratches and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it, across stone resin, cast iron and acrylic.

Aftercare tips

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

  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Rinse away soap after showering

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you can’t see.

Why repair rather than replace?

The tray is normally the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so taking one out disturbs a lot. A repair keeps everything as it is. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

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 frequently lifts.

When we’d advise against a repair

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

FAQs for Tarlscough

Do you redo the sealant?

Yes, if you’d like us to. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide, so Tarlscough is covered. Prices don’t change with location.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.

How long before I can shower?

You’ll get the exact time when we finish, typically the next day.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Is repairing better than replacing?

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

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Different materials, different repairs

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

How the visit works

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
