Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.
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 can be filled and matched.
Shower tray repair in Benington, done in place
Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the repair lasts. We’re frequently asked to fix damage from a refit or building work and scratches in the surface, on cast iron, stone resin and acrylic.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Benington questions
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the whole UK, including Benington and the rest of Hertfordshire. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
Frequently. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.

How to care for the repair
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Use the extractor fan
- Rinse the tray after each shower
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you can’t see.
How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- Access to the area
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Doing more than one item at once
- The size and number of damaged areas
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Send pictures for a quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Natural light rather than flash
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A picture taken from further back
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.
What happens on the day
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, including clearing up.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- 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
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
How to get a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
