Shower tray repair in America Ground, done in place
If the entire tray looks tired, we can resurface it, giving it a fresh, even finish. We regularly repair acrylic, enamelled steel and ceramic, and people most often call us about a dull, stained or worn surface and edge chips from dropped bottles.

Different materials, different repairs
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.
America Ground: your questions answered
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes. The entire tray can be resurfaced without removing it.
What does shower tray repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.
Can you price it without visiting?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. 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 photos.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
What a repair cannot fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Trays cracked in several places
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Stone resin
- Acrylic

- A crack across the base
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- A tray that flexes

Should you replace it?
A new shower tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and tiling again. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Get a moving tray checked
- Store bottles off the tray
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you can’t see.
