Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Shower tray repair in Alfreton, done in place
We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, or resurface the entire tray if it’s worn. Nothing is taken out, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. We are often asked to fix scuffs and light scratches and a tray that flexes, on stone resin, enamelled steel and cast iron.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

How it works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- We make sure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- The repair is colour matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
- Once cured, generally by the day after, you can use the shower.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Getting a price

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they cannot be knocked over.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
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.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Common problems we fix in Alfreton
Most cracked trays are trays that flex: without a solid, level base underneath, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Movement when you stand on it
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- Damage from a refit or building work
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
