Shower tray repair in South Milton without replacing anything
Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the crack does not come back. We are often asked to fix cracks running from the waste and a dull, stained or worn surface, across stone resin, ceramic and acrylic.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

How to look after the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.
Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you cannot see.
The process
We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- It’s left to cure, generally until the day after.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Make sure the area is dry
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Ask for a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Can I fix it myself?
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 is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Repairs by material
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
