About our shower tray repair in Grains Bar
If the entire tray looks tired, we can resurface it, for a clean, uniform finish without removing the screen or tiles. We’re often asked to fix a tray that creaks or moves underfoot and snagging damage in a new bathroom, on acrylic, cast iron and stone resin.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.
Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you can’t see.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Grains Bar
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
The process
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- It’s left to cure, normally until the day after.
How to prepare
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Related advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Your questions about shower tray repair in Grains Bar
Do you come to Grains Bar?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Grains Bar for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
Generally, as long as it doesn’t flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
