What a repair can’t fix

- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

Shower tray repair at your home in Elburton
The first thing we do is check the tray: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, or the crack will come back. We’ll explain what we find. We are often asked to fix chips on the edges and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot, on enamelled steel, stone resin and acrylic.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

The process
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Elburton questions
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, because water may be getting underneath.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
How long does it take to cure?
You’ll get the exact time when we finish.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
Frequently. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

Common problems we fix in Elburton
Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A tray that flexes
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- A crack across the base
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
Before you book anyone
- How long it needs to cure
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Get a moving tray checked
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Use the extractor fan
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below is not visible.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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 tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
