DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
What we do, step by step
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We make sure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- The tray is left to cure and can normally be used the following day.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Signs you need shower tray repair in Winlaton Mill

Common reasons people in Winlaton Mill contact us include:
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- Damage around the waste

What your shower tray is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

What information do you need?

Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Get a moving tray checked
Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you cannot see.
