Shower tray repair in Eltringham, done in place
Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the crack does not come back. If you are dealing with chips caused during fitting and staining and dullness across the tray, we can help.

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Eltringham.

What your shower tray is made of matters
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Landlord and trade work in Eltringham
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Honest limits
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Leaking waste fittings
- A tray that moves underfoot
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic
- Stone resin
- Ceramic
- Cast iron
- Enamelled steel
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff:
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Stick to gentle cleaners
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
How the visit works
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. 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.
- We make sure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- Once cured, generally by the day after, you can use the shower.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Make sure the area is dry
- Let us know about parking or access

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Are you accredited?

Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

Yes. The entire tray can be resurfaced without removing it.
