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 can be filled and matched.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Shower tray repair in Old Heath without replacing anything
We check the tray before repairing it: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, or the crack will come back. We’ll explain what we find. We work on ceramic, stone resin and cast iron, and the jobs we see most are snagging damage in a new bathroom and chips on the edges.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Old Heath as everywhere else we work.

Should you replace it?
Replacing a tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Old Heath. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We make sure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- The repair is colour-matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
- The tray is left to cure and can generally be used the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
How to care for the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
- Use the extractor fan
- Rinse away soap after showering
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.
