What your shower tray is made of matters
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
Shower tray repair at your home in Chignall Smealy
We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. The tray stays in place, so the enclosure and tiles aren’t disturbed. Typical jobs include damage from a refit or building work and cracks running from the waste, on cast iron, stone resin and enamelled steel.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

How to look after the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.
When we would advise against a repair
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- Trays cracked in several places
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to look after it.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is typically usable the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Ensure the area is dry
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
