Shower tray repair at your home in Fairbourne
We check the tray before repairing it: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, or the crack will come back. We’ll explain what we find. We regularly repair enamelled steel, ceramic and acrylic, and common reasons people get in touch are movement when you stand on it and chips on the edges.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

How it works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- We ensure the tray does not flex and look for 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.
- The repair is colour-matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
- Once cured, typically by the day after, you can use the shower.
Before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Ask for a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.
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.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Repair or replace in Fairbourne?
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. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Fairbourne. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Repairs by material
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.
When a repair is not the answer
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- Leaking waste fittings
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
