When to call us in Lower Raydon
Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.
The things clients generally mention when they call include:
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- Cracks running from the waste
- Scratches in the surface
What your quote should include
- How the colour is matched
- How changes to the job are handled
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- Whether a trained technician does the job

Related advice
What a repair cannot fix
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- Trays cracked in several places
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Cast iron
- Stone resin
- Acrylic
- Ceramic
- Enamelled steel
How to care for the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Check the seal every few months
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
Lower Raydon questions
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
How long before I can shower?
Generally the day after. We will confirm before we leave.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
We would stop using it until it’s repaired, because water may be getting underneath.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Can you fix a cracked tray?
Usually, as long as it does not flex. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Repair or replace in Lower Raydon?
Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so taking one out disturbs a lot. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Lower Raydon. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What your shower tray is made of matters
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.
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.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
