What your shower tray is made of matters
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a tray typically means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. Repairing it avoids all of that, at a fraction of the cost. Prices start from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
What you get with us
- One visit for most repairs

Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Get a moving tray checked
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.

For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We ensure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- The repair is colour matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is normally usable the day after.
How to prepare
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Clear the area around the damage

When we would advise against a repair
A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- A tray that moves underfoot
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
When to call us in Knighton
Rigid trays do not bend, they crack when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
Questions to ask before you book
- When it can be used again
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
