What your shower tray is made of matters
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
How we handle shower tray repair in Eign Hill
In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. The colour and finish are matched. Typical jobs include a tray that flexes and chips on the edges, on ceramic, enamelled steel and stone resin.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
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 pictures, as it can add time.
Your questions about shower tray repair in Eign Hill
Can tenants book a repair?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK. Prices do not change with location.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
Normally, as long as it does not flex. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets 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’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, you can use the shower.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know about parking or access

How to look after the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Check the seal every few months
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Stick to gentle cleaners
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
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.
Why repair rather than replace?
When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Do you need shower tray repair in Eign Hill?
Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend if the floor beneath them is not flat and fully supported. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- Movement when you stand on it
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- Cracks running from the waste
Questions to ask before you book
- How the colour is matched
- Aftercare advice
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- What happens if they find more damage
Work for landlords and builders

Honest limits
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- A tray that moves underfoot
