Your questions about shower tray repair in Vidlin
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, so Vidlin is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
What happens after I send pictures?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
How we handle shower tray repair in Vidlin
Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the crack doesn’t come back. Typical jobs include a crack across the base and a dull, stained or worn surface, across acrylic, ceramic and enamelled steel.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best:
- Get a moving tray checked
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.
What a repair can’t fix
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- Trays cracked in several places
- A tray that moves underfoot
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Ceramic
- Cast iron
- Enamelled steel
- Acrylic
- Stone resin
What your shower tray is made of matters
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

What happens on the day
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. Allow a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Make sure the area is dry

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- What kind of damage it is
- The material and finish
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether we combine several jobs
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
How to get a fixed price
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- One picture of the entire shower tray
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The material, if you know it
Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Vidlin, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
What we’re called out for in Vidlin
Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.
Customers normally contact us about:
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- A crack across the base
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
