Shower tray repair at your home in Manod
Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, or resurface the whole tray if it’s worn. Nothing is taken out, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. Our repair technicians work on stone resin, acrylic and enamelled steel, and common reasons people get in touch are chips caused during fitting and a cracked shower tray.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Manod: your questions answered
How long does it take to cure?
You’ll get the exact time when we finish, generally the next day.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.
Will the price change on the day?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
Yes, if you’d like us to. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How much damage there is
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material and finish
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Quotes from your pictures
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any details about the material
- Where you are, by postcode
- A picture taken from further back
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

How it works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It normally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
- The tray is left to cure and can normally be used the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Getting a price

When to call us in Manod
Rigid trays do not bend, they crack when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Chipped corners or rims
- Scratches in the surface
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- Damage from a refit or building work
Before you book anyone
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- When it can be used again
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
Repair or replace in Manod?
A new shower tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and tiling again. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

What we cannot put right
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Trays cracked in several places

Materials we work on in Manod
- Cast iron
- Ceramic
- Stone resin
- Acrylic
- Enamelled steel
Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Use the extractor fan
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Replace failing sealant promptly
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they can’t be knocked over.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below is not visible.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
