Shower tray repair in Germiston without replacing anything
We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. The tray stays in place, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. Whether it’s a tray that flexes and cracks running from the waste, we can help, whatever the material.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Ventilate the room after showers
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below is not visible.

Advice
Questions from Germiston
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Do you redo the sealant?
Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
What information do you need?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Repairs by material
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- A tray that moves underfoot
