Different materials, different repairs
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.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
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.
How the visit works
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, including clearing up.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- The repair is colour-matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is typically usable the following day.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Ensure the area is dry
- Point us to the nearest place to park

Related advice
Do you need shower tray repair in Leam Lane Estate?
Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Timber floors that move can cause it too.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Cracks running from the waste
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
What to look for in a quote
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
When we’d advise against a repair
We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Leaking waste fittings
- A tray broken in more than one place
- A tray that moves underfoot

Repair or replace: which is better?
Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so taking one out disturbs a lot. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
What you get with us
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- A fixed quote before booking
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited

Questions from Leam Lane Estate
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.
What happens after I send pictures?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.

Do you redo the sealant?
Yes. Add it to your quote and we’ll do both on one visit.
How long before I can shower?
Normally by the following day. We’ll confirm before we leave.
