Shower tray repair in Springwell without replacing anything
We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. The tray stays in place, so the enclosure and tiles aren’t disturbed. We work on ceramic, acrylic and cast iron, and people most frequently call us about staining and dullness across the tray and chipped corners or rims.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What happens on the day
Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface in most cases. We leave the room clean.
- 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.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- The repair is colour-matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
- Once cured, generally by the following day, you can use the shower.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know about parking or access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
How to get a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Advice
Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- The material
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What kind of damage it is
- How many items we do on one visit
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send photos for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Any details about the material
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Most clients in Springwell get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Springwell questions
Are there extra charges for Springwell?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
What happens next?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.
Do you redo the sealant?
Yes. Add it to your quote and we’ll do both on one visit.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first.
Do you cover Springwell?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Springwell. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Check the ceiling below for damp.
How to look after the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Store bottles off the tray
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Use the extractor fan
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.
