- Damage around the waste
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
Different materials, different repairs
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.
How we handle shower tray repair in Merlin's Cross
We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, or resurface the entire tray if it’s worn. The tray stays in place, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. Common call-outs are for a tray that looks tired however much you clean it and a tray that flexes, on cast iron, acrylic and enamelled steel.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
When we’d advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- Multiple cracks across the tray
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

What affects the price in Merlin's Cross
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- What the surface is made of
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How hard the colour is to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
How to get a fixed quote
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any details about the material
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
Your questions about shower tray repair in Merlin's Cross
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
When can I use the shower again?
Typically the next day. We will confirm before we leave.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Do you reseal the tray as well?
Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can you fix a cracked tray?
Usually, as long as it does not flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Stick to gentle cleaners
Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.
When to call us in Merlin's Cross
Rigid trays don’t bend, they crack if the floor beneath them is not flat and fully supported. Timber floors that move can cause it too.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- A crack across the base
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
