Shower tray repair in Great Dalby without replacing anything
Shower tray repairs are one of our most common jobs. Chips by the waste, cracks across the base and dull, stained surfaces are all things we fix in place. We are frequently asked to fix chips caused during fitting and staining and dullness across the tray, in cast iron, ceramic and enamelled steel.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
How it works
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is normally usable the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

What your shower tray is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Use the extractor fan
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Check the seal every few months
Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.
Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below isn’t visible.
