Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

FAQs for Piershill
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
Usually, as long as it doesn’t flex. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.

Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
The process
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Open a window if you can

Related advice
Different materials, different repairs
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a tray normally means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. A repair leaves all of that untouched. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

When a repair is not the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- Trays cracked in several places
- A tray that moves underfoot
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
