DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Use the extractor fan
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.
What your shower tray is made of matters
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
Tŷ-canol questions
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Which areas do you work in?
The entire UK, including all of Torfaen. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole shower tray and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The type of damage
- How hard the colour is to match
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- One picture of the whole shower tray
- Natural light rather than flash
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
