The process
You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
- It’s left to cure, typically until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Related advice
Different materials, different repairs
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
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.
Repairing versus replacing in Winlaton
If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is generally best. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. 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 will get a fixed figure.

Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Get a moving tray checked
Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.
Honest limits
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- Leaking waste fittings
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- The colour and finish to match
- What the surface is made of
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether we combine several jobs
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send pictures for a quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Natural light rather than flash
