FAQs for Upton
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
In most cases. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
How much does shower tray repair cost in Upton?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
How long before I can shower?
We will give you the curing time on the day.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, in case water is getting through.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Check the seal every few months
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

When to call us in Upton
Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On solid floors, cracks typically point to an uneven base.
Look out for any of the following:
- Cracks running from the waste
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
What your quote should include
- Who will actually do the work
- If travel is included in the price
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
Repair or replace: which is better?
When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Upton
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Repairs by material
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
