Shower tray repair in New Silksworth without replacing anything
You don’t always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can usually be repaired in place, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. We work on acrylic, stone resin and ceramic, and common reasons people get in touch are damage from a refit or building work and chips on the edges.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
When to call us in New Silksworth
The waste is a common starting point for cracks, where the tray is cut and the fitting is tightened.
Most people contact us when they notice something like this:

The process
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- Once cured, typically by the following day, you can use the shower.
How to prepare
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Getting a price

It helps to know what we cannot do:

- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair

What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including New Silksworth. What changes the price is:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many items we do on one visit
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Send pictures for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Details of any past repairs
- The material, if you know it
- A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
Most customers in New Silksworth get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Use the extractor fan
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.
Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below is not visible.
