Signs you need shower tray repair in Upthorpe
Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend if the floor beneath them is not flat and fully supported. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
- Chips caused during fitting
- A dull, stained or worn surface
- Edge chips from dropped bottles

Shower tray repair in Upthorpe, done in place
The first thing we do is check the tray: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, or the crack will come back. We will tell you if that’s the case. We regularly repair enamelled steel, acrylic and cast iron, and common reasons people get in touch are chips or cracks by the plughole and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

For landlords and businesses
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
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.
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.
Upthorpe: your questions answered
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Upthorpe. Prices don’t change with location.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Do you work in Upthorpe?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Upthorpe for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
We would stop using it until it’s repaired, in case water is getting through.

How to care for the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Access to the area
- How many items we do on one visit
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Unusual colours or finishes
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.
How to get a fixed quote
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Where you are, by postcode
If you are in Upthorpe and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
How it works
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- It’s left to cure, generally until the following day.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Getting a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
