When to call us in Maxton
Trays crack mainly because they move: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- A dull, stained or worn surface
- Chips on the edges
- A cracked shower tray
- A tray that flexes

Shower tray repair in Maxton without replacing anything
Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the crack does not come back. We regularly repair acrylic, ceramic and enamelled steel, and the jobs we see most are scratches from cleaning or grit and chips on the edges.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Repairs by material
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Common questions in Maxton
Are there extra charges for Maxton?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Maxton included. Travel is included in the price.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire shower tray and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
How long does it take to cure?
You will get the exact time when we finish, typically the next day.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.
Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.
Can I fix it myself?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Work for landlords and builders
For anyone letting property in or around Maxton, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
