Shower tray repair in Littlestead Green without replacing anything
Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the repair lasts. Typical jobs include staining and dullness across the tray and chips caused during fitting, in stone resin, ceramic and acrylic.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

How the visit works
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
- The tray is left to cure and can generally be used the next day.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Ask for a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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, then guarantee it for a year.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Littlestead Green as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Stick to gentle cleaners
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you can’t see.
What your shower tray is made of matters
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
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.
Common problems we fix in Littlestead Green
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.
The things customers usually mention when they call include:
- A dull, stained or worn surface

- Movement when you stand on it
