Different materials, different repairs
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Repair or replace in Ruxley?
A new shower tray generally means removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and tiling again. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

How to care for the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Use the extractor fan
Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- A tray that moves underfoot
- Trays cracked in several places
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

FAQs for Ruxley
Do you reseal the tray as well?
Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Which areas do you work in?
The whole UK, including all of Greater London. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
What happens if you find more damage?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
When can I use the shower again?
Typically the following day. We will confirm before we leave.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
Normally, as long as it does not flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.
What we do, step by step
We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is usually usable the following day.
Before we arrive
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Open a window if you can
