How we handle shower tray repair in St Paul's
In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. The colour and finish are matched. We work on stone resin, enamelled steel and acrylic, and common reasons people get in touch are damage from a refit or building work and scratches in the surface.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Gloucestershire.

Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you can’t see.
The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to look after it.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Repairing versus replacing in St Paul's
Replacing a tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and re-tiling. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.

Your questions about shower tray repair in St Paul's
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
When can I use the shower again?
You will get the exact time when we finish.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Are you accredited?

Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
