Shower tray repair at your home in Old Gore
We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, or resurface the whole tray if it’s worn. Nothing is taken out, so the enclosure and tiles are not disturbed. We are often asked to fix staining and dullness across the tray and chips or cracks by the plughole, on acrylic, enamelled steel and ceramic.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

Why repair rather than replace?
The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair is one visit. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
What you get with us
- One-year guarantee on every repair

Honest limits
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
Materials we work on in Old Gore
- Ceramic
- Enamelled steel
- Cast iron
- Stone resin
- Acrylic
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Store bottles off the tray
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you cannot see.
The process
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- The repair is colour matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is normally usable the following day.
How to prepare
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Clear the area around the damage

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Repairs by material
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. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
