Shower tray repair in Tarves, done in place
In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. The colour and finish are matched so the repair blends in. Whether it’s chips caused during fitting and staining and dullness across the tray, we can typically put it right, on stone resin, acrylic and ceramic alike.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can I fix it myself?
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.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- The material
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What kind of damage it is
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- The material, if you know it
- One sharp close-up of the damage
For a price in Tarves, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Get a moving tray checked
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Rinse the tray after each shower
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.

What we are called out for in Tarves
The waste is a common starting point for cracks, because that is where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.
Clients typically contact us about:
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- Movement when you stand on it
- Scuffs and light scratches
- Staining and dullness across the tray
What to look for in a quote
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
Repair or replace: which is better?
If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is generally best. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Repairs by material
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
How it works
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface in most cases. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
How to prepare
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
