Shower tray repair in Tokers Green without replacing anything
Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the repair lasts. Whether it’s snagging damage in a new bathroom and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot, we can normally put it right, on stone resin, acrylic and enamelled steel alike.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Tokers Green
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a tray generally means removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

DIY kit or professional repair?
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 typically the cheaper route.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
What a repair cannot fix
A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Trays cracked in several places
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

What we do, step by step
We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We make sure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- The repair is colour-matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
- Once cured, usually by the next day, you can use the shower.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the damage
- Ensure the area is dry
- Keep a parking space free if you can

Repairs by material
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Store bottles off the tray
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
