What your shower tray is made of matters

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

Shower tray repair in California, done in place

We repair plenty of shower trays. Chipped edges, cracks and worn finishes can all be put right without removing the tray. Common call-outs are for scratches in the surface and damage around the waste, in acrylic, cast iron and stone resin.

Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • Chipped corners or rims
  • A tray that flexes

10 questions to ask before booking

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

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.

How it works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We ensure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
  5. Once cured, normally by the next day, you can use the shower.

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to California. The price depends on:

  • The type of damage
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What the surface is made of
  • The size and number of damaged areas

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book.

Send pictures for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The material, if you know it
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.

Landlords, agents and businesses in California

For anyone letting property in or around California, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

Repair or replace in California?

A new shower tray frequently means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. A repair leaves all of that untouched, at a fraction of the cost. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
