Shower tray repair at your home in Knatts Valley
A cracked or chipped shower tray doesn’t always need replacing. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, which is far less work than a replacement. We’re often asked to fix cracks running from the waste and movement when you stand on it, in acrylic, stone resin and cast iron.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Use the extractor fan
- Store bottles off the tray
- Rinse the tray after each shower
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you can’t see.
When to call us in Knatts Valley
On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On solid floors, cracks usually point to an uneven base.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- Scratches in the surface
- Movement when you stand on it
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
Questions to ask before booking
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How changes to the job are handled
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers

Repair or replace in Knatts Valley?
A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it is not: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing it takes one visit. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Your questions about shower tray repair in Knatts Valley
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.
When can I use the shower again?
Typically the next day. We’ll confirm before we leave.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Do you redo the sealant?
We can. After a repair is a good time to reseal.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

- 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.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
