Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Use the extractor fan
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.

- First, we check whether the tray moves.

- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
- It’s left to cure, generally until the day after.

What we can’t put right
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Trays cracked in several places
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Ceramic
- Cast iron
- Stone resin
- Enamelled steel
- Acrylic
What your shower tray is made of matters
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 we match the gloss when we repair them.
Common questions in Owton Manor
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
