About our shower tray repair in Stoke Canon

Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, or resurface the entire tray if it’s worn. The tray stays in place, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. Common call-outs are for chips or cracks by the plughole and scratches from cleaning or grit, across ceramic, cast iron and acrylic.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Before and after: an old shower tray refinished by Surface Doctor

Why repair rather than replace?

When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Why Stoke Canon clients choose us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

For landlords and businesses

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Devon and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.

The process

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It normally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. It’s left to cure, normally until the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Advice

What your shower tray is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

How to care for the repair

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black

Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below is not visible.

10 questions to ask before you book

Stoke Canon questions

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire shower tray and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

What does shower tray repair cost?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

Normally, if the tray is firmly supported. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes. We can resurface the entire tray for a fresh finish.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What we cannot put right

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
