Different materials, different repairs

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
FAQs for Trefil
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
In most cases. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.
Do you redo the sealant?
Yes, if you’d like us to. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.

What else we do in Trefil
How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
- It’s left to cure, usually until the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Ask for a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

What a repair can’t fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Repair or replace in Trefil?
The tray is usually the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Ventilate the room after showers
Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.
Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you can’t see.
