Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
About our shower tray repair in Market Overton
Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the crack doesn’t come back. We work on ceramic, acrylic and stone resin, and people most frequently call us about a damaged area around the waste and staining and dullness across the tray.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

The process
Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface for most jobs. The room is left tidy.
- We make sure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- The tray is left to cure and can usually be used the day after.
Before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Market Overton questions
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes. The entire tray can be resurfaced without removing it.
How do I book?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
What happens after I send photos?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Landlord and trade work in Market Overton
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Market Overton as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
What we are called out for in Market Overton
Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Chips typically come from dropped bottles.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- Damage from a refit or building work
- Chips on the edges
- Movement when you stand on it

Should you replace it?
Replacing a tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How to look after the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Get a moving tray checked
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.
Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below isn’t visible.
