How we handle shower tray repair in Waingroves
Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the repair lasts. We work on ceramic, acrylic and cast iron, and the jobs we see most are damage around the waste and a crack across the base.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
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.
How it works
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep a parking space free if you can

Advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below isn’t visible.
