Shower tray repair in Croxdale, done in place
Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. The colour and finish are matched so the repair blends in. We are often asked to fix damage around the waste and damage from a refit or building work, across cast iron, ceramic and acrylic.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Replace failing sealant promptly
Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.
Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below isn’t visible.

When to call us in Croxdale
Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend if the floor beneath them isn’t flat and fully supported. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Chipped corners or rims
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- Movement when you stand on it
- Staining and dullness across the tray

DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
What your shower tray is made of matters
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.
Croxdale: your questions answered
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Do you cover Croxdale?
We do. We send a technician to Croxdale for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
How long does it take to cure?
Normally by the following day. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.
Can you fix a cracked tray?
Frequently. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
How it works
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- The repair is colour matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
- The tray is left to cure and can typically be used the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Open a window if you can
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
How to get a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
