How we handle shower tray repair in Desford
Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. Nothing is taken out, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. Typical jobs include staining and dullness across the tray and edge chips from dropped bottles, on enamelled steel, stone resin and acrylic.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- The material
- How much damage there is
- Doing more than one item at once
- How easy the damage is to reach
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
Quotes from your photos
You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The material, if you know it
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Desford, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Landlord and trade work in Desford
For anyone letting property in or around Desford, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Common problems we fix in Desford
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.
People usually call us when they notice one of these:
- A cracked shower tray
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- A damaged area around the waste
- A tray that flexes
What your quote should include
- Aftercare advice
- Who will actually do the work
- What prep work is covered
- When it can be used again
How the visit works
The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We make sure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- The tray is left to cure and can usually be used the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Advice
FAQs for Desford
How long does it take to cure?
Typically the following day. We will confirm before we leave.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
What happens after I send pictures?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Which areas do you work in?
The whole UK, including all of Leicestershire. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Desford?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
Frequently. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Cast iron
- Stone resin
- Acrylic
- Enamelled steel
- Ceramic
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff:
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Get a moving tray checked
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
