Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Scuffs and light scratches
- A tray that flexes
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
- A crack across the base

Shower tray repair in Little Melton, done in place
Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. Nothing is taken out, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. Whether it’s chips on the edges and movement when you stand on it, we can normally put it right, on stone resin, cast iron and ceramic alike.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Get a moving tray checked
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Check the seal every few months
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
FAQs for Little Melton
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
How long does it take to cure?
Generally the next day. We’ll confirm before we leave.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, in case water is getting through.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
The process
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Advice
Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
