What happens on the day
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- The repair is colour matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
- Once cured, generally by the day after, you can use the shower.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

What affects the price in Newton Ketton
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- The material and finish
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How hard the colour is to match
- Doing more than one item at once
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Getting a price from pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Any details about the material
- A picture taken from further back
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
How to care for the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Check the seal every few months
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.
Common problems we fix in Newton Ketton
Heavy bottles, shower heads and dropped razors chip trays, usually along the edges or by the waste.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- Chipped corners or rims
- Cracks running from the waste
- Scratches in the surface
What your quote should include
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- How the room is protected while they work
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether they match the colour on site
Why repair rather than replace?
When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Prices start from £95. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Repairs by material
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
