What your shower tray is made of matters
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Common problems we fix in Walton Manor
A tired-looking tray is often the result of years of cleaning: limescale, harsh chemicals and abrasive pads strip the surface finish.
Most people contact us after spotting something like this:
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- A crack across the base
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- Chips or cracks by the plughole

Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Use the extractor fan
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Get a moving tray checked
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Walton Manor: your questions answered
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you work in Walton Manor?
We do. We send a technician to Walton Manor for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
