Shower tray repair in Buttington, done in place
Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. The tray stays in place, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. Our repair technicians work on enamelled steel, cast iron and stone resin, and common reasons people contact us are chips on the edges and damage around the waste.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- 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.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- It’s left to cure, normally until the day after.
How to prepare
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

What your shower tray is made of matters
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Questions from Buttington
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
Only if you are sure it isn’t leaking. Look for damp or stains below.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Will the price change on the day?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Buttington?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your SY21 postcode.
Do you cover Buttington?
We do. We send a technician to Buttington for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
Yes, if you’d like us to. After a repair is a good time to reseal.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
When to call us in Buttington
Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On solid floors, cracks typically point to an uneven base.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- A cracked shower tray
- A damaged area around the waste
- Chips caused during fitting
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
What to look for in a quote
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- How the room is protected while they work
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- How long it needs to cure

Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
- Replace failing sealant promptly
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a tray normally involves 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. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- The material and finish
- What kind of damage it is
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The size and number of damaged areas
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed price
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Something in shot to show the size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- Leaking waste fittings
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- A tray that moves underfoot
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
