About our shower tray repair in Istead Rise
A cracked or chipped shower tray doesn’t always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can generally be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. We are frequently asked to fix chipped corners or rims and cracks running from the waste, on stone resin, ceramic and enamelled steel.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee.

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 is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
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.
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Check the seal every few months
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Rinse the tray after each shower
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they cannot be knocked over.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.
When a repair is not the answer
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Multiple cracks across the tray
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Enamelled steel
- Ceramic
- Cast iron
- Stone resin

Should you replace it?
Replacing a tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and tiling again. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used 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.
- The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
How to get a price
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
