Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Shower tray repair in Stanton Chare without replacing anything
Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, or resurface the whole tray if it’s worn. Nothing is taken out, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. Whether it’s edge chips from dropped bottles and damage around the waste, we can normally put it right.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Questions from Stanton Chare
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Do you redo the sealant?
Yes, if you’d like us to. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Stanton Chare
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Should you replace it?
A new shower tray frequently means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. Repairing it avoids all of that. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Get a moving tray checked
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Replace failing sealant promptly
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below is not visible.
What we do, step by step
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure the area is dry
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Getting a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Do you need shower tray repair in Stanton Chare?
Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend if the floor beneath them isn’t flat and fully supported. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- A dull, stained or worn surface
- Damage from a refit or building work
- A crack across the base
- A tray that flexes
Questions to ask before you book
- What aftercare is recommended
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How your room will be protected
How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material and finish
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
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 make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed price
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The material, if you know it
To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Honest limits
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
