Shower tray repair in Crabbs Cross, done in place
Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. The tray stays in place, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. Our technicians work on enamelled steel, stone resin and cast iron, and the jobs we see most are damage around the waste and a crack across the base.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

What happens on the day
You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It usually takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
Preparing for the visit

Landlord and trade work in Crabbs Cross
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Crabbs Cross use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Worcestershire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Signs you need shower tray repair in Crabbs Cross
A tired-looking tray is frequently the result of years of cleaning: abrasive pads, strong chemicals and limescale wear the finish away.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- Cracks running from the waste
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
What to look for in a quote
- Who will actually do the work
- What happens if they find more damage
- If travel is included in the price
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
When we’d advise against a repair
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Use the extractor fan
- Rinse the tray after each shower
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they can’t be knocked over.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.
How we price shower tray repair
