Materials and what they mean for the repair
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
How we handle shower tray repair in Talaton
If the entire tray looks tired, we can resurface it, for a clean, uniform finish. Common call-outs are for chips or cracks by the plughole and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot, on stone resin, cast iron and acrylic.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Talaton as everywhere else we work.

Landlord and trade work in Talaton
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Talaton as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
How the visit works
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know about parking or access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Check the seal every few months
- Get a moving tray checked
Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.
Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below isn’t visible.
