Shower tray repair at your home in Poltesco
We check the tray before repairing it: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, otherwise any crack returns. We will explain what we find. We’re frequently asked to fix chipped corners or rims and chips or cracks by the plughole, across stone resin, ceramic and enamelled steel.

Repairs by material
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
How the visit works
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
How to get a price
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Advice
What we cannot put right
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- A tray that moves underfoot
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron
- Stone resin
- Ceramic
- Acrylic
- Enamelled steel
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Use the extractor fan
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.
Poltesco questions
Do you come to Poltesco?
We do. Technicians travel to Poltesco from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
How long does it take to cure?
You’ll get the exact time when we finish, usually the next day.
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
Yes, if you’d like us to. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
