Shower tray repair in Stainburn without replacing anything
A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can generally be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. Typical jobs include a tray that creaks or moves underfoot and a damaged area around the waste, on acrylic, ceramic and stone resin.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
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.
What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Stainburn. The price comes down to:
- The material and finish
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many areas need work
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. Try to include:
- Details of any past repairs
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole shower tray, we can price the job.
How to care for the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Store bottles off the tray
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Get a moving tray checked
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.
- 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, generally until the day after.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
