Your questions about shower tray repair in Featherstone
What do you need from me?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes. The entire tray can be resurfaced without removing it.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
Usually, if the tray is firmly supported. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
How to care for the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
- Check the seal every few months
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Featherstone. The price comes down to:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Access to the area
- How many areas need work
- What kind of damage it is
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Upload pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Featherstone, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.
Repairing versus replacing in Featherstone
A new shower tray normally means taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
