About our shower tray repair in Ackergillshore
Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. We match the colour and finish. If you are dealing with movement when you stand on it and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it, we can usually put it right, on stone resin, enamelled steel and cast iron alike.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

How it works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which usually takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure the area is dry
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Getting a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Ackergillshore
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

What affects the price in Ackergillshore
Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Ackergillshore. What changes the price is:
- How much damage there is
- How hard the colour is to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material and finish
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
How to get a fixed price
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- What it’s made of, if you know
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
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 come back to you with a fixed figure.
How to look after the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Use the extractor fan
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below is not visible.
Why repair rather than replace?
When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
