What your shower tray is made of matters
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 trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
When we’d advise against a repair
We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Trays cracked in several places
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- A tray that moves underfoot
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Ceramic
- Stone resin
- Enamelled steel
- Cast iron
- Acrylic
What we are called out for in Urchfont
Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- A damaged area around the waste
- Chipped corners or rims
- Movement when you stand on it
- A crack across the base

What happens on the day
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Ask for a price
Upload a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your SN10 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

What affects the price in Urchfont
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material and finish
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Getting a price from pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- The material, if you know it
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Something in shot to show the size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Questions from Urchfont
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
Generally, as long as it does not flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
What information do you need?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Urchfont?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
Only if you are sure it isn’t leaking. Check the ceiling below for damp.
Repair or replace in Urchfont?
If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is usually best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
