Should you replace it?
Replacing a tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

What we do, step by step
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface.
- We make sure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is typically usable the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know about parking or access
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.

Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
Work for landlords and builders
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Vale of Health use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Stick to gentle cleaners
Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.
Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you can’t see.

Repairs by material
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
When a repair is not the answer
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
