How we handle shower tray repair in Stanmore
Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the crack does not come back. Common call-outs are for a crack across the base and damage from a refit or building work, across enamelled steel, acrylic and stone resin.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
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.
Landlord and trade work in Stanmore
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Honest limits
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Leaking waste fittings
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron
- Ceramic
- Enamelled steel
- Stone resin
- Acrylic
The process
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, including clearing up.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
Getting ready for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Let us know about parking or access
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
Ask for a price

Advice
What affects the price in Stanmore
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- The colour and finish to match
- The material
- What kind of damage it is
- How many areas need work
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from photos
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any details about the material
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Other services in Stanmore
Different materials, different repairs
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below is not visible.

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

Do you cover Stanmore?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Stanmore from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Repair or replace in Stanmore?
Replacing a tray typically means taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
