About our shower tray repair in Sherford
Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, or resurface the entire tray if it’s worn. The tray stays in place, so the enclosure and tiles aren’t disturbed. If you are dealing with a tray that creaks or moves underfoot and edge chips from dropped bottles, we can help.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Plymouth.

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Sherford
Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Timber floors that move can cause it too.
People normally call us after spotting something like this:
- Chips caused during fitting
- A crack across the base
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- A tray that flexes

What we cannot put right
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- Trays cracked in several places
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Check the seal every few months
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
- Report any creaking or movement early
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you cannot see.
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 the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
How it works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
