DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

What your shower tray is made of matters
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

FAQs for St Paul's Walden
What happens after I send pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
In most cases. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
What happens on the day
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray for most jobs. The room is left tidy.
- 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.
- The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
- It’s left to cure, typically until the next day.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Getting a price
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Surfaces we repair
- Stone resin
- Ceramic
- Cast iron
- Acrylic
- Enamelled steel
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
- Check the seal every few months
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Store bottles off the tray
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they cannot be knocked over.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below isn’t visible.
