About our shower tray repair in Sparnon Gate
The first thing we do is check the tray: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, or the crack will come back. We will explain what we find. Whether it’s chips caused during fitting and a tray that flexes, we can help, whatever the material.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff:
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Store bottles off the tray
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Check the seal every few months
Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.
Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.
The process
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- Once cured, generally by the next day, you can use the shower.
Before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
