Shower tray repair in Exton, done in place
Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. Nothing is taken out, so the enclosure and tiles are not disturbed. We regularly repair acrylic, cast iron and enamelled steel, and common reasons people contact us are cracks running from the waste and scratches in the surface.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Check the seal every few months
- Ventilate the room after showers
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.
Honest limits
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
