A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can generally be repaired in place, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. Whether it’s snagging damage in a new bathroom and scratches in the surface, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Repairs by material
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
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.
What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we leave the room as we found it.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
Preparing for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Clear the area around the damage
- Make sure the area is dry

FAQs for Minterne Magna
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
What happens after I send photos?
You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
How long before I can shower?
Generally the following day. We will tell you the exact time when we finish.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Should you replace it?
A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it is not: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing it takes one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Store bottles off the tray
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.
When a repair is not the answer
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- Leaking waste fittings
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

DIY kit or professional repair?
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 generally cheaper.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. 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.
