Shower tray repair in Friar's Wash without replacing anything
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. If you are dealing with a tray that creaks or moves underfoot and scuffs and light scratches, we can help.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Repair or replace: which is better?
A new shower tray usually means taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and re-tiling. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What kind of damage it is
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed price
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Something in shot to show the size
- The material, if you know it
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

What else we do in Friar's Wash
When a repair isn’t the answer
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Multiple cracks across the tray
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
- Ventilate the room after showers
Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
FAQs for Friar's Wash
Is a cracked tray repairable?
Frequently. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

Yes. The entire tray can be resurfaced.

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

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.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
How the visit works
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface for most jobs. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Getting a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
