Shower tray repair in Harrowgate Hill without replacing anything
Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, or resurface the whole tray if it’s worn. The tray stays in place, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. We regularly repair acrylic, stone resin and cast iron, and people most frequently call us about damage from a refit or building work and a cracked shower tray.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
- Stick to gentle cleaners
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.
