Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Get a moving tray checked
- Check the seal every few months
Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.
Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.
How we handle shower tray repair in Stanford on Soar
We check the tray before repairing it: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, or the crack will come back. We will tell you if that is the case. We’re often asked to fix a dull, stained or worn surface and edge chips from dropped bottles, in ceramic, stone resin and cast iron.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
What a repair can’t fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Stanford on Soar: your questions answered
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Do you come to Stanford on Soar?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Stanford on Soar and the rest of Leicestershire. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do you redo the sealant?
Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.

Do you need shower tray repair in Stanford on Soar?
Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Timber floors that move can cause it too.
The things clients usually mention when they call are:
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- Chipped corners or rims
- A cracked shower tray
What to look for in a quote

Repair or replace: which is better?
A new shower tray frequently means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. Repairing it avoids all of that, at a fraction of the cost. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
What we do, step by step
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have 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 clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We make sure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
- Once cured, typically by the following day, you can use the shower.
Getting ready for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let us know about parking or access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
