How the visit works
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface in most cases. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- The repair is colour-matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, you can use the shower.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

What we are called out for in Lower Stondon
Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Timber floors that move can cause it too.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- A damaged area around the waste
- Movement when you stand on it
- Scratches in the surface
- Edge chips from dropped bottles

Your questions about shower tray repair in Lower Stondon
Do you come to Lower Stondon?
We do. We send a technician to Lower Stondon for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Lower Stondon?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your SG16 postcode.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
Yes, if you’d like us to. After a repair is a good time to reseal.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. 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. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.
Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Use the extractor fan
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you cannot see.
Repair or replace in Lower Stondon?
Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so taking one out disturbs a lot. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What a repair cannot fix
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
