We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. Nothing is taken out, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. We work on cast iron, enamelled steel and ceramic, and people most often call us about scratches in the surface and cracks running from the waste.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Questions from Potters Corner
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Work for landlords and builders
If you manage property in Potters Corner, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Potters Corner. The price comes down to:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material and finish
- How easy the damage is to reach
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
How to get a fixed quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Details of any past repairs
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
How the visit works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which generally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Check the seal every few months
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Report any creaking or movement early
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new shower tray typically means taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Potters Corner. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
