How we handle shower tray repair in Rakewood
The first thing we do is check the tray: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, or the crack will come back. We will tell you if that’s the case. We regularly repair stone resin, cast iron and acrylic, and people most frequently call us about scratches from cleaning or grit and chips on the edges.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

When a repair is not the answer
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Trays cracked in several places
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Rinse away soap after showering
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
What happens on the day
The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Common problems we fix in Rakewood
Cracks frequently start at the waste, because that is where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.

- Chipped corners or rims
- Damage around the waste
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
Questions to ask before you book
- How the colour is matched
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- Whether the price covers travel
- How to care for the finish
Why repair rather than replace?

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What your shower tray is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
