About our shower tray repair in Freston
Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. We match the colour and finish so the repair blends in. Common call-outs are for edge chips from dropped bottles and scratches in the surface, in stone resin, ceramic and enamelled steel.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

What happens on the day
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
- It’s left to cure, normally until the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Clear the area around the damage

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.

Do you need shower tray repair in Freston?

The most common problems we’re called about are:
- A tray that flexes
- Chips caused during fitting
- A cracked shower tray
- Staining and dullness across the tray
Questions to ask before you book
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- How to look after the finish
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Getting a price from pictures
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

What your shower tray is made of matters
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.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
