How we handle shower tray repair in Detling
Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, or resurface the entire tray if it’s worn. The tray stays in place, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. We work on ceramic, stone resin and cast iron, and people most frequently call us about a crack across the base and scuffs and light scratches.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Detling
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Honest limits
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- Leaking waste fittings
- A tray that moves underfoot
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic
- Stone resin
- Enamelled steel
- Cast iron
- Ceramic
Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Stick to gentle cleaners
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- 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.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- The repair is colour matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
- Once cured, usually by the next day, you can use the shower.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the area is dry
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Should you replace it?
Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- How many areas need work
- The material and finish
- What kind of damage it is
- Unusual colours or finishes
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from pictures
You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The material, if you know it
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
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, a professional repair is worth it.

Common questions in Detling
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Do you redo the sealant?
We can. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. You are under no obligation.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
