Shower tray repair in Marsh Farm, done in place
We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. The tray stays in place, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. Common call-outs are for chips or cracks by the plughole and snagging damage in a new bathroom, on acrylic, cast iron and enamelled steel.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Marsh Farm
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

What we do, step by step
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
Repair or replace in Marsh Farm?
When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

- Staining and dullness across the tray

What your shower tray is made of matters
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
