How we handle shower tray repair in Margaretting Tye
You don’t always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can generally be repaired in place, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. Common call-outs are for a tray that flexes and damage around the waste, on acrylic, stone resin and ceramic.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee.

Common problems we fix in Margaretting Tye
On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On solid floors, cracks generally point to an uneven base.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- Cracks running from the waste
- Chips caused during fitting
- Movement when you stand on it

Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Check the seal every few months
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you cannot see.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
