How we handle shower tray repair in Old Town
Shower tray repairs are one of our most common jobs. Chipped edges, cracks and worn finishes can all be put right without removing the tray. We regularly repair stone resin, acrylic and enamelled steel, and the jobs we see most are scratches from cleaning or grit and chipped corners or rims.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.

Do you need shower tray repair in Old Town?
Heavy bottles, shower heads and dropped razors chip trays, typically on the edges or near the plughole.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Scratches in the surface
- Chips caused during fitting
- A dull, stained or worn surface
- Chipped corners or rims
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What aftercare is recommended
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
- Use the extractor fan
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.
