About our shower tray repair in East Denton

Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the repair lasts. Our repair technicians work on stone resin, acrylic and cast iron, and the jobs we see most are chipped corners or rims and a crack across the base.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee.

How it works

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. The repair is colour-matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is generally usable the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Related advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

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 fails, we can still put it right.

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

Common problems we fix in East Denton

Most chips come from things dropped in the shower, normally along the edges or by the waste.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • A tray that flexes
  • A damaged area around the waste
  • Cracks running from the waste
  • Damage from a refit or building work

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How your room will be protected
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

10 questions to ask before you book

Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.

Repairs by material

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.

Should you replace it?

The tray is typically the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so taking one out disturbs a lot. A repair keeps everything as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.
