How we handle shower tray repair in Minnow End
Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. The tray stays in place, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. We are often asked to fix chips on the edges and scratches in the surface, across acrylic, cast iron and ceramic.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

How to look after the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

Different materials, different repairs
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
What affects the price in Minnow End
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- What the surface is made of
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many items we do on one visit
- What kind of damage it is
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Quotes from your photos
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
