If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

About our shower tray repair in Stainborough

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
How it works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is normally usable the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Use the extractor fan
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
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.
Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Stainborough questions
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
Only if you’re sure it isn’t leaking. Check the ceiling below for damp.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
Often. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
What happens next?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.

What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Stainborough. The price reflects:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The size and number of damaged areas
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.

- The postcode, so we can plan the visit

- Something in shot to show the size

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
