Service Overview
## A specialist trade — done properly, the first time.
A failing shower tray is one of the most expensive issues in any bathroom — left alone, it can lead to leaks through ceilings, rotten joists and a complete bathroom rip-out. Specialist tray repair fixes the structural problem, refinishes the surface and restores full waterproofing — for a fraction of the cost and disruption of replacement.

### What it is
Structural repair of cracks, holes and flex points using reinforced resin systems, followed by full surface refinishing. The tray is left rigid, watertight and visually like new — without removing tiles, trays, doors or plumbing.

### Who it's for
Homeowners with cracked acrylic or stone-resin trays; landlords avoiding bathroom rip-outs; hotels and serviced apartments needing fast turnaround; insurance customers with impact or installation damage.

### When it's needed
At the first sign of flex, hairline cracks, water seeping through the tray, stained or worn surfaces, or visible holes. The earlier we intervene, the smaller (and cheaper) the job.

### Why a specialist matters
A general handyman or DIY kit will mask the problem but rarely solves the structural flex that caused the crack. Specialist resin reinforcement removes the flex permanently, then the refinishing seals the surface — giving you a tray that performs like new.

What Happens If You Wait
## Small problems rarely stay small.
Shower trays fail for a reason — usually inadequate support beneath the tray or material fatigue. Once water gets through, the damage compounds quickly and quietly, often only becoming visible when a downstairs ceiling is already wet.

### The risks of leaving it
Hidden leaks rotting floor joists and ceiling plasterboard below
- Mould growth inside the bathroom floor void — a serious health risk
- Cracks expanding under load until the tray becomes unusable
- Insurance disputes over delayed repair of known damage
- Full bathroom replacement at £5,000–£10,000+ once water damage spreads
- Permanent staining as cleaning chemicals soak into damaged surfaces

### Common mistakes we see

- Sealing cracks with silicone — it traps moisture and accelerates damage
- Using filler kits that crack again within weeks under foot pressure
- Removing the tray unnecessarily, damaging tiles, doors and plumbing
- Painting over discolouration with bath paint that won't survive a shower
- Ignoring small cracks until the floor below is already damaged

Our Process
## A clear, controlled, repeatable system.

01

### Inspect
We diagnose the cause of the damage — material fatigue, inadequate bedding, impact, or installation flex.

02

### Reinforce
Cracks and holes are routed, undercut and rebuilt using reinforced two-part resins — eliminating flex.

03

### Prepare
The surface is degreased, sanded and keyed for maximum coating adhesion under wet conditions.

04

### Refinish
Industrial polyurethane is sprayed in multiple coats for a hard, glossy, watertight finish.

05

### Test &amp; Hand Back
We test, hand back with care instructions.

 Why It Pays Off
## Concrete benefits, not vague promises.

### No bathroom rip-out

Tray, tiles, doors and plumbing all stay put — the repair is done in situ.

### Watertight in a day

Most trays are repaired and refinished in 4–6 hours. Showering possible within 24 hours.

### Removes flex permanently

Reinforced resin doesn't just patch — it solves the underlying structural problem.

### Stain and limescale resistant

Sealed industrial coating resists soap scum, limescale and shampoo staining.

### Insurance-friendly documentation

We provide written reports and invoices suitable for insurance claims.

In Detail
## Shower Tray Repair &amp; Resurfacing: materials, methods and applications.
Shower trays come in dozens of materials — acrylic, ABS, stone resin, ceramic, enamelled steel, even fibreglass. Each requires a different repair and coating approach. We carry the full range of resins, fillers and primers to cover every common tray system in the UK market.

### Materials &amp; Coatings

- Two-part structural resins for crack and hole rebuilds
- Glass-fibre matt reinforcement for high-flex zones
- Stone-resin compatible fillers for Mira, Coram and similar trays
- Polyurethane topcoats rated for permanent wet exposure
- Anti-slip aggregate coatings (R10–R12 rated)

### Methods &amp; Techniques

- Routing and undercutting cracks for a mechanical lock
- In-situ repair with no tray removal
- Multi-coat spray application for film build and durability
- Edge-feathering for invisible repair blending
- Anti-slip integration without changing visual appearance

### Service Variations

- Acrylic shower tray repair (most common)
- Stone-resin tray restoration
- Quadrant and walk-in tray repairs
- Low-profile and wet-room tray refinishing
- Enamelled steel and cast iron tray restoration
- Anti-slip coating retrofit

### Where It Applies

- Family homes with cracked or worn trays
- Holiday lets and Airbnbs needing fast turnarounds
- Hotels and B&amp;Bs with multiple identical trays
- Insurance claims (impact, installation damage)
- Care homes upgrading to anti-slip surfaces
- Pre-sale repairs to maximise property valuation

### Residential vs commercial
For commercial estates with multiple shower trays — hotels, student halls, care homes — we offer planned-maintenance pricing, scheduled out-of-hours work, and consistent finish standards across all units. We also handle one-off insurance jobs with full documentation.
