Repairs by material
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.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

Questions from Caiystane
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We come back with a fixed quote. There’s no obligation to book.
What do you need from me?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Can you fix a cracked tray?
Frequently. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
Do you work in Caiystane?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Caiystane. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
We can. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
What we do, step by step
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Make sure the area is dry
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Getting a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

How to look after the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.
Honest limits
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

When to call us in Caiystane
On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A cracked shower tray
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- Damage from a refit or building work
What your quote should include
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- How your room will be protected
Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Repairing versus replacing in Caiystane
A new shower tray frequently means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. Repairing it avoids all of that, at a fraction of the cost. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
