Shower tray repair in Deadman's Cross without replacing anything
Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the crack does not come back. Common call-outs are for a tray that creaks or moves underfoot and cracks running from the waste, across enamelled steel, stone resin and acrylic.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Deadman's Cross: your questions answered
How long does it take to cure?
You will get the exact time when we finish.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Which areas do you work in?
The entire UK, including all of Central Bedfordshire. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
Can you quote from photos?
Usually, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes. We can resurface the whole tray for a fresh finish without removing it.

What a repair can’t fix
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Ceramic
- Cast iron
- Acrylic
- Enamelled steel
- Stone resin
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Get a moving tray checked
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Use the extractor fan
Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.
The process
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- 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.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- The tray is left to cure and can typically be used the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Make sure the area is dry
- Keep a parking space free if you can
How to get a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Repairs by material
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
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, and the work is guaranteed.
