Should you replace it?
If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is usually best. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why us?

- Colour-matched on site

How we handle shower tray repair in Tyler Hill
We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, or resurface the whole tray if it’s worn. The tray stays in place, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. We are frequently asked to fix damage around the waste and a crack across the base, across acrylic, stone resin and ceramic.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Store bottles off the tray
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.
What a repair cannot fix
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

The process
We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- 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.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is usually usable the next day.
Before we arrive
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
