What your shower tray is made of matters
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.

FAQs for Stanhope
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
When can I use the shower again?
We’ll give you the curing time on the day, typically the day after.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
Generally, as long as it doesn’t flex. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. A repair keeps everything as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What we are called out for in Stanhope
Most cracked trays are trays that flex: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.
People usually call us after spotting something like this:
- Chips on the edges
- A crack across the base
- A tray that flexes
- Chips or cracks by the plughole

What affects the price in Stanhope
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Stanhope. What changes the price is:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How much damage there is
- What the surface is made of
Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Send photos for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Details of any past repairs
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- 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.
- The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Advice
Work for landlords and builders
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Use the extractor fan
- Check the seal every few months
Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.
Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below isn’t visible.
