Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
Common problems we fix in Illingworth
Most cracked trays are trays that flex: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Chips usually come from dropped bottles.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Chips on the edges
- Scuffs and light scratches
- Damage from a refit or building work
- Staining and dullness across the tray

Illingworth: your questions answered
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Illingworth.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.
How to look after the repair
It’s all simple stuff:
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Check the seal every few months
- Get a moving tray checked
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.

What else we do in Illingworth
Repairing versus replacing in Illingworth
A new shower tray normally means taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and re-tiling. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

How the visit works
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Open a window if you can
- Keep a parking space free if you can

Advice
What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Access to the area
- The colour and finish to match
- How much damage there is
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- One picture of the whole shower tray
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
If you’re in Illingworth and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
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.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
