Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Shower tray repair in Charlesville without replacing anything
You do not always need a new tray. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. We are often asked to fix movement when you stand on it and a dull, stained or worn surface, across cast iron, ceramic and enamelled steel.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Charlesville and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Charlesville: your questions answered
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Charlesville included. There is no extra charge for travel.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Common problems we fix in Charlesville
Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A cracked shower tray
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- Scuffs and light scratches
Questions to ask before you book
- How the room is protected while they work
- How the colour is matched
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How to look after the finish
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new shower tray often 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. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
When we would advise against a repair
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Trays cracked in several places
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on

What affects the price in Charlesville
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- How many items we do on one visit
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How hard the colour is to match
- How much damage there is
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Charlesville. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The material, if you know it
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole shower tray, we can price the job without visiting.
Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you cannot see.
How it works
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We ensure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
- The tray is left to cure and can typically be used the day after.
Before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
How to get a price
