Shower tray repair at your home in Willington Quay
In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. The colour and finish are matched so the repair blends in. We regularly repair ceramic, enamelled steel and stone resin, and common reasons people contact us are chips on the edges and snagging damage in a new bathroom.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

How the visit works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- The tray is left to cure and can normally be used the following day.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Open a window if you can
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

- A dull, stained or worn surface
- A damaged area around the waste
- A tray that flexes
Questions to ask before you book

Can I fix it myself?
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, and the work is guaranteed.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Ventilate the room after showers
Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Willington Quay. What changes the price is:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How hard the colour is to match
- The type of damage
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
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.
Getting a price from pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One picture of the entire shower tray
To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Repair or replace in Willington Quay?
The tray is typically the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. A repair keeps everything as it is. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
