How it works
Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface in most cases. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- Once cured, typically by the day after, you can use the shower.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know about parking or access
How to get a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Work for landlords and builders
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
What your shower tray is made of matters
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.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Store bottles off the tray
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Check the seal every few months
- Report any creaking or movement early
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.
Questions from Trimdon Grange
How long does it take to cure?
Normally the next day. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire shower tray and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, in case water is getting through.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide. Prices do not change with location.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
