Different materials, different repairs
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Shower tray repair at your home in Harper's Gate
Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, or resurface the whole tray if it’s worn. Nothing is taken out, so the enclosure and tiles are not disturbed. Typical jobs include movement when you stand on it and cracks running from the waste, on acrylic, cast iron and stone resin.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Should you replace it?
When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.
Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Harper's Gate
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
We would stop using it until it’s repaired, in case water is getting through.
How long does it take to cure?
We will give you the curing time on the day.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
What happens on the day
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Open a window if you can
- Ensure the area is dry
