DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
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 typically the cheaper route.
Shower tray repair at your home in Tiln
Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. The colour and finish are matched so the repair blends in. If you’re dealing with scratches in the surface and damage from a refit or building work, we can normally put it right.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

What else we do in Tiln
When we’d advise against a repair
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- A tray that moves underfoot
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Enamelled steel
- Stone resin
- Acrylic
- Ceramic
- Cast iron
What your shower tray is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
Tiln: your questions answered
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
When can I use the shower again?
Typically the day after. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.
What areas do you cover?
All of Nottinghamshire, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Do you cover Tiln?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Tiln for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
How to care for the repair
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Store bottles off the tray
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.
What we’re called out for in Tiln
Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.
The things clients usually mention when they call include:
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- Scuffs and light scratches
- Cracks running from the waste
What to look for in a quote
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Tiln. The price comes down to:
- What the surface is made of
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many areas need work
- How many items we do on one visit
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
How to get a fixed price
You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Where you are, by postcode
- A picture taken from further back
- One sharp close-up of the damage
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
The process
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, tidy-up included.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
- The tray is left to cure and can typically be used the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
