Shower tray repair in Friar's Hill, done in place
Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the crack does not come back. If you’re dealing with movement when you stand on it and a dull, stained or worn surface, we can help, on enamelled steel, acrylic and cast iron alike.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Store bottles off the tray
- Get a moving tray checked
- Use the extractor fan
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.
Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.
How it works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It typically takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- 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 clean up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Questions from Friar's Hill
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
Only if you’re sure it is not leaking. Look for damp or stains below.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
Normally, as long as it doesn’t flex. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
