How we handle shower tray repair in Viables
A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can typically be repaired in place, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. Typical jobs include chips or cracks by the plughole and a cracked shower tray, on stone resin, cast iron and acrylic.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Different materials, different repairs
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
How it works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which generally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
Before we arrive
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Ask for a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
