Shower tray repair at your home in Castle Carlton
Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. The tray stays in place, so the enclosure and tiles aren’t disturbed. Typical jobs include edge chips from dropped bottles and a cracked shower tray, across stone resin, cast iron and ceramic.

Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Report any creaking or movement early
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.
Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.
For landlords and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around Castle Carlton, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Should you replace it?
When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Common questions in Castle Carlton
Which areas do you work in?
All of Lincolnshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Are there extra charges for Castle Carlton?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire shower tray and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, in case water is getting through.
What a repair can’t fix
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- Trays cracked in several places
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Ceramic
- Acrylic
- Stone resin
- Cast iron
- Enamelled steel
When to call us in Castle Carlton
On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- Damage around the waste
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- Chips on the edges

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
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.
Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
How it works
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
- The tray is left to cure and can normally be used the day after.
How to prepare
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Keep a parking space free if you can
