About our shower tray repair in Littlemoor

We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, or resurface the whole tray if it’s worn. The tray stays in place, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. If you are dealing with edge chips from dropped bottles and damage from a refit or building work, we can help, whatever the material.

Homes around Littlemoor are mostly houses and bungalows, and a shower tray repair is typically a few hours’ work.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What happens on the day

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days. Visits around Littlemoor are typically simple: we park, protect the room and get started.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and tiling again. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. In a smaller place like Littlemoor, getting trades out for a full replacement can take time to arrange. A repair needs just one visit.

Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book.

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • How many areas need work
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Send photos for a quote

You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One picture of the whole shower tray
  • Details of any past repairs

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Repairs by material

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.

Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.
