About our shower tray repair in Farthingstone
You don’t always need a new tray. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, which is far less work than a replacement. If you are dealing with edge chips from dropped bottles and a damaged area around the waste, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

When to call us in Farthingstone
Rigid trays do not bend, they crack if the floor beneath them isn’t flat and fully supported. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Damage around the waste
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
What your quote should include
- How to care for the finish
- Whether the price covers travel
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- How many areas need work
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Where the damage is and how we get to it

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Two or three clear photos are normally enough. Try to include:
- One picture of the whole shower tray
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Details of any past repairs
- What it’s made of, if you know
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

How to care for the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you cannot see.
Common questions in Farthingstone

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
How the visit works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which typically takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
Preparing for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Ask for a price
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
