Shower tray repair in Down Thomas, done in place
If the whole tray looks tired, we can resurface it, for a clean, uniform finish without removing the screen or tiles. Our technicians work on acrylic, ceramic and stone resin, and the jobs we see most are chips or cracks by the plughole and chips caused during fitting.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

How to look after the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Store bottles off the tray
- Check the seal every few months
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below isn’t visible.

Repair or replace: which is better?
When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Down Thomas: your questions answered
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, in case water is getting through.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Do you cover the entire of Plymouth?
The whole UK, including all of Plymouth. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes. We can resurface the whole tray for a fresh finish.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What a repair cannot fix
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
