Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they can’t be knocked over.

Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.

What happens on the day

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We ensure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  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. Once cured, normally by the next day, you can use the shower.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Questions from Thorpefield

Is a cracked tray repairable?

Normally, if the tray is firmly supported. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole shower tray and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

What areas do you cover?

We cover the entire UK, including Thorpefield and the rest of North Yorkshire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll confirm dates.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Do you redo the sealant?

We can. After a repair is a good time to reseal.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, in case water is getting through.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
