How we handle shower tray repair in Minstead
Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. We match the colour and finish so the repair blends in. We regularly repair stone resin, acrylic and enamelled steel, and people most often call us about chips or cracks by the plughole and scuffs and light scratches.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

Repair or replace in Minstead?
Replacing a tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and tiling again. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Do you need shower tray repair in Minstead?
Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend if the floor beneath them isn’t flat and fully supported. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Chips caused during fitting
- Chipped corners or rims
- A damaged area around the waste
- Scuffs and light scratches
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How the colour is matched
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- What happens if they find more damage
How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- The type of damage
- Doing more than one item at once
- The colour and finish to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Getting a price from pictures
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The material, if you know it
- A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
- Where you are, by postcode
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
What we do, step by step
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Make sure the area is dry
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Ask for a price
If you are in Minstead and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
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 are filled and matched to the surface.
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
Only if you are sure it isn’t leaking. Check the ceiling below for damp.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
