Shower tray repair in Maker, done in place
Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. The tray stays in place, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. If you are dealing with a dull, stained or worn surface and a crack across the base, we can usually put it right, on cast iron, ceramic and acrylic alike.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Maker as everywhere else we work.

What we do, step by step
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- It’s left to cure, typically until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Ensure the area is dry

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

How to look after the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Get a moving tray checked
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
Signs you need shower tray repair in Maker
Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Scratches in the surface
- Chips caused during fitting
- A dull, stained or worn surface
- A crack across the base

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Maker. The price comes down to:
- The type of damage
- Access to the area
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Unusual colours or finishes
Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Send photos for a quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Details of any past repairs
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it isn’t: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. Repairing it takes one visit. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
