- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is usually usable the day after.

How we handle shower tray repair in Borestone
A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can usually be repaired in place, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. If you are dealing with chips or cracks by the plughole and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it, we can help, on stone resin, enamelled steel and cast iron alike.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it.

What else we do in Borestone
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you can’t see.

What affects the price in Borestone
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Borestone. The price reflects:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Access to the area
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many areas need work
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new shower tray often means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. Repairing it avoids all of that. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Borestone
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
How long before I can shower?
Normally by the following day. We will tell you the exact time when we finish.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
Not until you know the crack isn’t letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
Honest limits
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Leaking waste fittings
- Multiple cracks across the tray
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Enamelled steel
- Acrylic
- Ceramic
- Stone resin
- Cast iron
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
