Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below isn’t visible.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a tray typically means removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Different materials, different repairs
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.
For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
What happens on the day
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- The repair is colour matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is generally usable the next day.
How to prepare
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Ensure the area is dry
- Open a window if you can
How to get a price
