Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you can’t see.
Signs you need shower tray repair in Upper Loads

How the visit works
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
- It’s left to cure, normally until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let us know about parking or access
Ask for a price
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
Advice
Your questions about shower tray repair in Upper Loads
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes. We can resurface the whole tray for a fresh finish.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working.
What happens next?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
How long does it take to cure?
Generally the next day. We will tell you the exact time when we finish.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire shower tray and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
