Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Use the extractor fan
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.
Shower tray repair at your home in Top o' th' Meadows
The first thing we do is check the tray: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, or the crack will come back. We will tell you if that is the case. If you’re dealing with edge chips from dropped bottles and chips caused during fitting, we can help, whatever the material.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Top o' th' Meadows
Trays crack mainly because they move: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- Cracks running from the waste
- Damage around the waste
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
What your quote should include
- How the colour is matched
- What prep work is covered
- Who will actually do the work
- What protection goes down before work starts
When we would advise against a repair
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Cast iron
- Enamelled steel

DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Work for landlords and builders
For anyone letting property in or around Top o' th' Meadows, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.

How it works
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
How to prepare
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
