Shower Tray Repair in Stanborough
Damaged shower tray in Stanborough? We repair it in place, match it on site and back it with a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a tray usually means taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Stanborough. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Why us?
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- Nothing taken out or refitted

Shower tray repair in Stanborough, done in place
We check the tray before repairing it: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, or the crack will come back. We will explain what we find. Typical jobs include chipped corners or rims and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it, across enamelled steel, stone resin and acrylic.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Use the extractor fan
- Store bottles off the tray
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Stick to gentle cleaners
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they cannot be knocked over.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
What a repair can’t fix
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- A tray that moves underfoot
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
Materials we work on in Stanborough

- Enamelled steel
- Ceramic
- Acrylic
Different materials, different repairs
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
Stanborough questions
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
How it works
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- Once cured, typically by the day after, you can use the shower.
How to prepare
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

What affects the price in Stanborough
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Stanborough. The price depends on:
- Access to the area
- The colour and finish to match
- The material and finish
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Getting a price from photos
You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One picture of the whole shower tray
- Any details about the material
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
