About our shower tray repair in Prospect
Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, or resurface the whole tray if it’s worn. The tray stays in place, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. We work on acrylic, enamelled steel and stone resin, and people most frequently call us about scratches in the surface and a dull, stained or worn surface.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Prospect as everywhere else we work.

DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Common problems we fix in Prospect
Rigid trays don’t bend, they crack when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Timber floors that move can cause it too.
Common reasons people in Prospect contact us are:
- Damage around the waste
- Scuffs and light scratches
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
What to look for in a quote
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Who will actually do the work
- Aftercare advice
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
- Store bottles off the tray
- Replace failing sealant promptly
Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
How the visit works
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- The repair is colour matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, you can use the shower.
How to prepare
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
How to get a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Common questions in Prospect
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
Not until you know the crack isn’t letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Are there extra charges for Prospect?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.
Will the price change on the day?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
When a repair is not the answer
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Trays cracked in several places
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Leaking waste fittings
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we work on in Prospect
- Enamelled steel
- Stone resin
- Acrylic
- Cast iron
- Ceramic
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material and finish
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
How to get a fixed quote
You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- A photo taken from further back
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Something in shot to show the size
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

What else we do in Prospect
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
