Shower tray repair in Stanford without replacing anything
A cracked or chipped shower tray doesn’t always need replacing. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. Typical jobs include chips on the edges and cracks running from the waste, on cast iron, enamelled steel and stone resin.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

How the visit works
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- 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
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Ask for a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Related advice
What your shower tray is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
What we cannot put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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 typically 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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a tray normally means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. Repairing it avoids all of that, at a fraction of the cost. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Use the extractor fan
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they cannot be knocked over.
Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.
When to call us in Stanford
Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend if the floor beneath them isn’t flat and fully supported. Timber floors that move can cause it too.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Chipped corners or rims
- Chips caused during fitting
- A crack across the base
- A damaged area around the waste

Stanford questions
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
Not until you know the crack isn’t letting water through. Check the ceiling below for damp.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
Generally, as long as it doesn’t flex. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
Yes, if you’d like us to. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
