About our shower tray repair in Backford
Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. The tray stays in place, so the enclosure and tiles are not disturbed. Our repair technicians work on acrylic, enamelled steel and cast iron, and the jobs we see most are chipped corners or rims and a tray that flexes.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Backford and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What your shower tray is made of matters
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
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 are filled and matched to the surface.

Work for landlords and builders
For anyone letting property in or around Backford, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
How the visit works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Make sure the area is dry
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
