DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Shower tray repair in Sunnybrow without replacing anything
Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. We match the colour and finish. If you are dealing with movement when you stand on it and scratches from cleaning or grit, we can help, whatever the material.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Check the seal every few months
- Use the extractor fan
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.

Different materials, different repairs
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

Common questions in Sunnybrow
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes. The whole tray can be resurfaced.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.
How much does shower tray repair cost in Sunnybrow?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
