Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Shower tray repair in St Matthew's, done in place
In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. We match the colour and finish so the repair blends in. We work on stone resin, ceramic and cast iron, and people most often call us about cracks running from the waste and scuffs and light scratches.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it.

The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface for most jobs. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- It’s left to cure, usually until the next day.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Getting a price

Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Use the extractor fan
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Stick to gentle cleaners
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.
