Shower tray repair in Collin without replacing anything
Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the crack doesn’t come back. Our technicians work on stone resin, ceramic and acrylic, and common reasons people get in touch are scratches from cleaning or grit and edge chips from dropped bottles.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

How the visit works
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- 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.
- Once cured, generally by the following day, you can use the shower.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Work for landlords and builders
If you manage property in Collin, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
How to look after the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Use the extractor fan
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
- Replace failing sealant promptly
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

Repairing versus replacing in Collin
A new shower tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and tiling again. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
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.
Honest limits
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Trays cracked in several places
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- Leaking waste fittings
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron
- Enamelled steel
- Stone resin
- Acrylic
- Ceramic
