The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to care for it.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
- Replace failing sealant promptly
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
What a repair cannot fix
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair
- Stone resin
- Cast iron

FAQs for King's Meaburn
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Check the ceiling below for damp.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes. We can resurface the entire tray for a fresh finish.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Should you replace it?
A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it is not: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair is one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for King's Meaburn. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
