What we do, step by step
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
- It’s left to cure, generally until the day after.
How to prepare
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Open a window if you can
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
How to get a price
Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Samlesbury Bottoms, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Advice
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Report any creaking or movement early
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
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, then guarantee it for a year.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a tray normally means removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How long before I can shower?
You’ll get the exact time when we finish.

Repairs by material
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Samlesbury Bottoms as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
