Do you need shower tray repair in Horsley Hill?
Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.
The things customers typically mention when they call are:
- Chipped corners or rims
- A crack across the base
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- Damage from a refit or building work
What to look for in a quote
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How to care for the finish
- Whether the price covers travel
- Whether they match the colour on site
How to look after the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.
Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you can’t see.
The process
We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Getting a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Can a stained tray be refinished?

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
Typically, if the tray is firmly supported. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Horsley Hill. What changes the price is:
- The type of damage
- Access to the area
- The colour and finish to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
Send pictures for a quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- The material, if you know it
- A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Something in shot to show the size
If you are in Horsley Hill and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Why repair rather than replace?
If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is generally best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Landlord and trade work in Horsley Hill
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
