Shower tray repair in Walston, done in place
Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. The tray stays in place, so the enclosure and tiles are not disturbed. We work on cast iron, ceramic and acrylic, and people most often call us about movement when you stand on it and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

What else we do in Walston
How to look after the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Get a moving tray checked
Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.
Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.
What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- What the surface is made of
- Doing more than one item at once
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- Where you are, by postcode
- The material, if you know it
- Details of any past repairs
- A picture taken from further back
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
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.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Walston: your questions answered
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
Not until you know the crack isn’t letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Should you replace it?
The tray is usually the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
What happens on the day
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
