Shower tray repair in Brampton Abbotts, done in place
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. If you are dealing with a tray that flexes and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it.

How to look after the repair
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
- Use the extractor fan
Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.
How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- 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 clean up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Open a window if you can
- Point us to the nearest place to park

What else we do in Brampton Abbotts
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
When we would advise against a repair
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Leaking waste fittings
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray

Will there be a smell?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Common problems we fix in Brampton Abbotts
On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On solid floors, cracks normally point to an uneven base.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Damage around the waste
- Chips on the edges

- A dull, stained or worn surface

Repair or replace: which is better?
A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it isn’t: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. A repair is one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
