What happens on the day
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, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- The tray is left to cure and can normally be used the next day.
How to prepare
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Clear the area around the damage

- How easy the damage is to reach
- What the surface is made of

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A picture taken from further back
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

When to call us in Abbeytown
Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend if the floor beneath them is not flat and fully supported. Timber floors that move can cause it too.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed:
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- A damaged area around the waste
- Chipped corners or rims
What to look for in a quote
- What preparation is included
- What happens if they find more damage
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- If travel is included in the price
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below isn’t visible.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
What we cannot put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
