How it works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
How to get a price
Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Arkholme, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Shower tray repair in Arkholme without replacing anything
The first thing we do is check the tray: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, or the crack will come back. We will explain what we find. Our repair technicians work on acrylic, cast iron and ceramic, and common reasons people get in touch are staining and dullness across the tray and cracks running from the waste.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Common questions in Arkholme
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Arkholme?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes. The entire tray can be resurfaced.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new shower tray normally means taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Common problems we fix in Arkholme
Most cracked trays are trays that flex: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Chips normally come from dropped bottles.
Most people contact us when they notice something like this:
- Chips on the edges
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- A tray that flexes
- Damage around the waste
What your quote should include
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- What preparation is included
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Arkholme. The price reflects:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The type of damage
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
How to get a fixed quote
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole shower tray, we can price the job without visiting.
Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
