Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Get a moving tray checked
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below is not visible.

What your shower tray is made of matters
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Repair or replace: which is better?
The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. Repairing it takes one visit. Replacement in Gubbion's Green means trades, travel and waste removal, while a repair is a single visit.
Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

- We leave the room as we found it
- Honest advice, even when it means no job

- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.

- Staining and dullness across the tray
- Cracks running from the waste
- Chips on the edges
