Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
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 can be filled and matched.

Whether it’s a cracked shower tray and scratches in the surface, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Common questions in Shawell
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
Yes. Add it to your quote and we’ll do both on one visit.

How to look after the repair
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.
When a repair is not the answer
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Plumbing leaks under the tray

For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Shawell use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
What happens on the day
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It normally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- The repair is colour-matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is usually usable the following day.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
How to get a price
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire shower tray, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Do you need shower tray repair in Shawell?
Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend if the floor beneath them is not flat and fully supported. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- Scratches in the surface
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- Damage from a refit or building work
Questions to ask before you book
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- When it can be used again

DIY kit or professional repair?
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, a professional repair is worth it.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
