Shower tray repair in Albaston without replacing anything
You do not always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can usually be repaired in place, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. Our repair technicians work on cast iron, ceramic and enamelled steel, and the jobs we see most are a cracked shower tray and chips or cracks by the plughole.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
What your shower tray is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Albaston. The price reflects:
- What the surface is made of
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How much damage there is
- How easy the damage is to reach
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.
Send photos for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any details about the material
- A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Store bottles off the tray
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they cannot be knocked over.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
How the visit works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
How to get a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Advice
Albaston questions
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
What does shower tray repair cost?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
What we can’t put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- Trays cracked in several places
- A tray that moves underfoot
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Stone resin
- Acrylic
- Ceramic
- Enamelled steel
- Cast iron
For landlords and businesses
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
