Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Barrow: your questions answered
Do you cover Barrow?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Barrow from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
Generally, if the tray is firmly supported. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.
What information do you need?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
Only if you are sure it isn’t leaking. Look for damp or stains below.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.
Why repair rather than replace?
When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.
For landlords and businesses
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.
What happens on the day
We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.
- 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 tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
Preparing for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
