Your questions about shower tray repair in Carmeltown
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
Typically, if the tray is firmly supported. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Carmeltown included. There is no extra charge for travel.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
Shower tray repair in Carmeltown, done in place
Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, or resurface the entire tray if it’s worn. Nothing is taken out, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. We are often asked to fix snagging damage in a new bathroom and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot, in stone resin, ceramic and enamelled steel.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

For landlords and businesses
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
How it works
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Ask for a price
Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Carmeltown, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Advice
What we are called out for in Carmeltown
Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- Scuffs and light scratches
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
What to look for in a quote
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- What happens if they find more damage
- When it can be used again
- How the colour is matched
Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Replace failing sealant promptly
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
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.
Repairing versus replacing in Carmeltown
The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing it takes one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Why us?
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- Usually one visit, start to finish
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book.

What else we do in Carmeltown
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
