What your shower tray is made of matters
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
Shower tray repair in Howlett End without replacing anything

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it.

Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
- Use the extractor fan
- Store bottles off the tray
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.
What we can’t put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- Trays cracked in several places
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

How it works
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface for most jobs. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- It’s left to cure, usually until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Advice
Repair or replace: which is better?
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. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Howlett End
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
