About our shower tray repair in Holborn
Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the crack doesn’t come back. Whether it’s snagging damage in a new bathroom and scuffs and light scratches, we can usually put it right.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Repairs by material
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they can’t be knocked over.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
Common problems we fix in Holborn
Heavy bottles, shower heads and dropped razors chip trays, usually along the edges or by the waste.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Damage around the waste
- Cracks running from the waste
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- Chipped corners or rims

Why repair rather than replace?
The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing it takes one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

The process
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- 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
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
What we cannot put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron
- Enamelled steel
- Acrylic
- Ceramic
- Stone resin
