Shower tray repair in Fairhaven, done in place
Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. The tray stays in place, so the enclosure and tiles are not disturbed. We regularly repair stone resin, cast iron and acrylic, and common reasons people contact us are chips on the edges and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

For landlords and businesses
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
Repairing versus replacing in Fairhaven
Replacing a tray typically means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. Repairing it avoids all of that and costs far less. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Check the seal every few months
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
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.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
What affects the price in Fairhaven
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- The material
- Doing more than one item at once
- How hard the colour is to match
- The type of damage
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Fairhaven. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Any details about the material
If you’re in Fairhaven and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Questions from Fairhaven
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
Typically, if the tray is firmly supported. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Lancashire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

What happens on the day
