Shower tray repair in Lane End without replacing anything
You don’t always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can generally be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. If you are dealing with snagging damage in a new bathroom and movement when you stand on it, we can help, whatever the material.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Work for landlords and builders
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.
How to look after the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Rinse away soap after showering
Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you cannot see.
Signs you need shower tray repair in Lane End
Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On solid floors, cracks typically point to an uneven base.

- It’s left to cure, usually until the next day.
