What your shower tray is made of matters
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

FAQs for Tilston
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
How long does it take to cure?
Usually the following day. We will tell you the exact time when we finish.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Usually, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
How to look after the repair
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
- Store bottles off the tray
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new shower tray frequently means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. Repairing it avoids all of that. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Tilston
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Tilston as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
What we do, step by step
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
