Shower tray repair at your home in Densole
Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the repair lasts. We’re often asked to fix scuffs and light scratches and edge chips from dropped bottles, across stone resin, cast iron and enamelled steel.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
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.
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple:
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Use the extractor fan
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Densole
When can I use the shower again?
Normally by the following day. We will confirm before we leave.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Densole included. There is no extra charge for travel.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire shower tray and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
What we cannot put right
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair

- Cast iron

What we’re called out for in Densole
A tired-looking tray is frequently the result of years of cleaning: abrasive pads, strong chemicals and limescale wear the finish away.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Scuffs and light scratches
- Damage from a refit or building work
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- A tray that flexes
Before booking anyone
- How long it needs to cure
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How to care for the finish
What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Access to the area
- The size and number of damaged areas
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Send pictures for a quote
You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One picture of the whole shower tray
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire shower tray, we can give you a fixed price.
Repairs by material
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.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
Repair or replace: which is better?
When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
