Different materials, different repairs
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
About our shower tray repair in Tinhay
A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can typically be repaired in place, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. Typical jobs include a tray that creaks or moves underfoot and chips caused during fitting, on enamelled steel, ceramic and acrylic.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. Allow a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- 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.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Advice
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Rinse the tray after each shower
Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.
Tinhay questions
How long does it take to cure?
We will give you the curing time on the day, generally the following day.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
Frequently. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Repairing versus replacing in Tinhay
If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is typically best. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
