Shower Tray Repair in St John
Shower tray repair in St John without the cost of replacing. Get a fixed price from your pictures, then we come to you.
- Repairs from £95
- Cracks running from the waste
- A dull, stained or worn surface
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Use the extractor fan
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Replace failing sealant promptly
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
How we handle shower tray repair in St John
In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. The colour and finish are matched so the repair blends in. We regularly repair acrylic, cast iron and stone resin, and people most frequently call us about a tray that flexes and scratches in the surface.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
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.

Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.

- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.

Advice
When a repair is not the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Trays cracked in several places
- Plumbing leaks under the tray

Other services in St John
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
