Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Store bottles off the tray
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.
Shower tray repair in Dowbiggin, done in place
We repair plenty of shower trays. Chipped edges, cracks and worn finishes are all things we fix in place. We work on enamelled steel, stone resin and acrylic, and common reasons people get in touch are scratches from cleaning or grit and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Repairing versus replacing in Dowbiggin
A new shower tray frequently means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. Repairing it avoids all of that and costs far less. Prices start 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 price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Dowbiggin
Trays crack mainly because they move: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Cracks running from the waste
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- Chipped corners or rims
- Chips or cracks by the plughole

Repairs by material
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
What a repair cannot fix
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- A tray that moves underfoot
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

How it works
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- 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.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
