How we handle shower tray repair in New Luce
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. Our repair technicians work on enamelled steel, acrylic and cast iron, and people most often call us about movement when you stand on it and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below is not visible.
How the visit works
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Open a window if you can
- Keep a parking space free if you can

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Honest limits
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Plumbing leaks under the tray

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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, and the work is guaranteed.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
Different materials, different repairs
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.
Questions from New Luce
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
We can. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Do you come to New Luce?
We do. Repair technicians travel to New Luce from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
What happens after I send pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
Generally, as long as it does not flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
