How we handle shower tray repair in Eighton Banks
We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, or resurface the whole tray if it’s worn. The tray stays in place, so the enclosure and tiles aren’t disturbed. Our repair technicians work on acrylic, stone resin and ceramic, and the jobs we see most are a tray that flexes and scratches in the surface.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Eighton Banks

Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- Movement when you stand on it
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
- Edge chips from dropped bottles

How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How much damage there is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Access to the area
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Send pictures for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A picture taken from further back
- The material, if you know it
- Something in shot to show the size
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
Your questions about shower tray repair in Eighton Banks
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire shower tray and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
When can I use the shower again?
We’ll give you the curing time on the day.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
Usually, if the tray is firmly supported. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
What happens next?
You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, in case water is getting through.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Eighton Banks included. There is no extra charge for travel.
Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Check the seal every few months
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you can’t see.
