The process
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- 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.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

What your shower tray is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
What we can’t put right
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- Leaking waste fittings
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic
- Ceramic
- Cast iron
- Stone resin
- Enamelled steel
DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
Cinderhill questions
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
Often. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
Only if you’re sure it is not leaking. Check the ceiling below for damp.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
