Shower tray repair for Red Rock homes

Repairs by material

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

About our shower tray repair in Red Rock

In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. We match the colour and finish so the repair blends in. If you’re dealing with damage around the waste and staining and dullness across the tray, we can normally put it right.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

When to call us in Red Rock

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • A crack across the base
  • Movement when you stand on it
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • Scratches in the surface

Comparing quotes

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • How soon you can use it again
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show

Our hiring checklist

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray

Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below is not visible.

FAQs for Red Rock

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.

How long does it take to cure?

Normally by the following day. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.

Do you come to Red Rock?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Red Rock for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

Usually, if the tray is firmly supported. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.

How it works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which usually takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We ensure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, you can use the shower.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

How to get a price

Related advice

Why repair rather than replace?

The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. A repair is one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking.

Why book with us

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • No extra charge for your area

  • We leave the room as we found it
