- Repairs from £95

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Get a moving tray checked
- Check the seal every few months
- Stick to gentle cleaners
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.

For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
How the visit works
You don’t need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
- It’s left to cure, typically until the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Advice
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 it’s worth repairing early.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.
What a repair can’t fix
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- A tray that moves underfoot
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Should you replace it?
Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Delves Lane
Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Timber floors that move can cause it too.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- Chips on the edges
- A tray that flexes
- Chips caused during fitting
Questions to ask before booking
- What protection goes down before work starts
- If travel is included in the price
- Who will actually do the work
- What happens if they find more damage
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
