About our shower tray repair in Monks Orchard
You do not always need a new tray. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, which is far less work than a replacement. We’re often asked to fix chips or cracks by the plughole and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it, in ceramic, enamelled steel and stone resin.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee.

Monks Orchard: your questions answered
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you price it without visiting?
Normally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, in case water is getting through.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

What else we do in Monks Orchard
Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
How to care for the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Replace failing sealant promptly
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
What your shower tray is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
What we do, step by step
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
