How we handle shower tray repair in Dolphinholme
Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. The tray stays in place, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. Our repair technicians work on cast iron, enamelled steel and stone resin, and the jobs we see most are staining and dullness across the tray and chipped corners or rims.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Questions from Dolphinholme
When can I use the shower again?
We’ll give you the curing time on the day, generally the next day.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes. The whole tray can be resurfaced without removing it.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.
Can you fix a cracked tray?
Typically, as long as it does not flex. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.
How much does shower tray repair cost in Dolphinholme?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
The process
You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need 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 can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
- It’s left to cure, typically until the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Ensure the area is dry
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Check the seal every few months
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
