Shower tray repair in Trowley Bottom without replacing anything
Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, or resurface the whole tray if it’s worn. Nothing is taken out, so the enclosure and tiles aren’t disturbed. If you are dealing with movement when you stand on it and damage from a refit or building work, we can help.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

What we can’t put right

- Trays cracked in several places
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath

Materials we repair
- Stone resin
- Ceramic
- Enamelled steel
- Cast iron
- Acrylic
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
Common problems we fix in Trowley Bottom
Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.
Contact us if you’ve noticed:
- Chips on the edges
- Chips caused during fitting
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- A crack across the base
What your quote should include
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What aftercare is recommended
- How changes to the job are handled
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- The material
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many areas need work
- Unusual colours or finishes
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send photos for a quote
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The material, if you know it
- Something in shot to show the size
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole shower tray, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.
What happens on the day
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which typically takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- 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.
- It’s left to cure, usually until the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Ask for a price

Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. 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.
Common questions in Trowley Bottom
Is a cracked tray repairable?
Normally, as long as it does not flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
How long before I can shower?
Normally by the following day. We will confirm before we leave.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
