How we handle shower tray repair in Patching
We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. The tray stays in place, so the enclosure and tiles aren’t disturbed. If you’re dealing with damage around the waste and damage from a refit or building work, we can generally put it right.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

The process
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Clear the area around the damage
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

What your shower tray is made of matters
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
What we’re called out for in Patching
Trays crack mainly because they move: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Chips normally come from dropped bottles.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A damaged area around the waste
- Scuffs and light scratches
- Damage from a refit or building work
- A tray that flexes
Questions to ask before you book
- If travel is included in the price
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- Aftercare advice
- When it can be used again
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material and finish
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
How to get a fixed quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Details of any past repairs
- Something in shot to show the size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any details about the material
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
How to care for the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Store bottles off the tray
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below isn’t visible.
