What your shower tray is made of matters
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
An Tairbeart questions
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Do you reseal the tray as well?
Yes, if you’d like us to. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, in case water is getting through.
How it works
You don’t need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It typically takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is typically usable the day after.
Before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let us know about parking or access

Advice
Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Check the seal every few months
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
What a repair cannot fix
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- A tray that moves underfoot
- A tray broken in more than one place
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Enamelled steel
- Stone resin

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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 typically the cheaper route.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
