What your shower tray is made of matters
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
Shower tray repair at your home in West Monkton
We check the tray before repairing it: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, or the crack will come back. We’ll explain what we find. Our repair technicians work on cast iron, stone resin and ceramic, and the jobs we see most are a crack across the base and chips caused during fitting.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Somerset.

Should you replace it?
A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it isn’t: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. A repair is one visit. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

FAQs for West Monkton
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Do you redo the sealant?
Yes, if you’d like us to. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.
When can I use the shower again?
Typically the next day. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.
Do you work in West Monkton?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to West Monkton from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
What happens if you find more damage?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
What do you need from me?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Common problems we fix in West Monkton
On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On solid floors, cracks generally point to an uneven base.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Scratches in the surface
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- A damaged area around the waste
- Chipped corners or rims
Questions to ask before you book
- How your room will be protected
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Who turns up on the day
- What preparation is included
The process
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know about parking or access

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- How much damage there is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Doing more than one item at once
- The colour and finish to match
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.
