- Scratches in the surface
What to look for in a quote

How we handle shower tray repair in Rivar
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 enclosure and tiles aren’t disturbed. We’re often asked to fix chips or cracks by the plughole and snagging damage in a new bathroom, in ceramic, cast iron and stone resin.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Rivar as everywhere else we work.

How the visit works
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, tidy-up included.
- We ensure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
- The tray is left to cure and can typically be used the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Ask for a price
Upload photos of the damage and one of the entire item, with your SN8 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Advice
Different materials, different repairs
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
When a repair is not the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Work for landlords and builders
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Rivar: your questions answered
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
Only if you’re sure it isn’t leaking. Check the ceiling below for damp.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed quote. There’s no obligation to book.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Do you work in Rivar?
We do. We send a technician to Rivar for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
Usually, as long as it doesn’t flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.
How do I book?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
