How we handle shower tray repair in Low Common
Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. The colour and finish are matched. If you’re dealing with staining and dullness across the tray and a tray that flexes, we can typically put it right.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
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.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
How to look after the repair
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below isn’t visible.
FAQs for Low Common

We will give you the curing time on the day, normally the next day.

When we would advise against a repair
We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Trays cracked in several places
- A tray that moves underfoot
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Materials we repair

How it works
We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- We make sure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- The damaged area, or the entire 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 usually usable the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
