About our shower tray repair in Brackenfield
We check the tray before repairing it: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, otherwise any crack returns. We’ll explain what we find. Our repair technicians work on acrylic, ceramic and stone resin, and common reasons people contact us are a crack across the base and movement when you stand on it.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Brackenfield as everywhere else we work.

What else we do in Brackenfield
What we do, step by step
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface for most jobs. We leave the room clean.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
- The tray is left to cure and can generally be used the following day.
Before we arrive
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Repairs by material
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- A tray that moves underfoot
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we work on in Brackenfield

Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
- Use the extractor fan
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you can’t see.
FAQs for Brackenfield
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
We can. After a repair is a good time to reseal.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We come back with a fixed price, generally with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a tray generally means removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
