How the visit works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- The tray is left to cure and can typically be used the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Related advice
How we handle shower tray repair in Colliston
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 does not come back. Whether it’s a tray that creaks or moves underfoot and a crack across the base, we can help, on stone resin, acrylic and ceramic alike.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

FAQs for Colliston
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
Yes. Add it to your quote and we will do both on one visit.
How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Colliston?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Colliston included. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

What we cannot put right

- Leaking waste fittings
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Check the seal every few months
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
