How we handle shower tray repair in Begbroke
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. Whether it’s a cracked shower tray and scratches from cleaning or grit, we can generally put it right, on enamelled steel, acrylic and stone resin alike.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Repairing versus replacing in Begbroke
When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What we do, step by step
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- We ensure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- The repair is colour matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, you can use the shower.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

Advice
Begbroke questions
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes. We can resurface the whole tray for a fresh finish.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
Yes. Add it to your quote and we’ll do both on one visit.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
Generally, as long as it does not flex. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.
Honest limits
A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic
- Stone resin
- Ceramic
- Cast iron
- Enamelled steel
Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Replace failing sealant promptly
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.
Common problems we fix in Begbroke
Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On solid floors, cracks usually point to an uneven base.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Damage around the waste
- A dull, stained or worn surface
- A tray that flexes
- Chips on the edges

- What aftercare is recommended
- How long it needs to cure
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- What prep work is covered
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Begbroke
If you manage property in Begbroke, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
