Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
About our shower tray repair in Alweston
If the whole tray looks tired, we can resurface it, for a clean, uniform finish without removing the screen or tiles. We regularly repair enamelled steel, ceramic and acrylic, and people most frequently call us about chips or cracks by the plughole and cracks running from the waste.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Alweston and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Should you replace it?
The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing it takes one visit. Prices start from £95. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Why us?
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Generally one visit, start to finish
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Honest advice, even when it means no job

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Alweston. The price comes down to:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What the surface is made of
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear photos are typically enough. Try to include:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Details of any past repairs
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Alweston questions
Do you come to Alweston?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Alweston from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
How long does it take to cure?
Usually the day after. We’ll confirm before we leave.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole shower tray and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
What happens on the day
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Getting a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.
Advice
Do you need shower tray repair in Alweston?
Most cracked trays are trays that flex: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Chips normally come from dropped bottles.
Clients typically contact us about:
- A dull, stained or worn surface
- A crack across the base
- Damage from a refit or building work
- Scuffs and light scratches
What to look for in a quote
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Who turns up on the day
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- When it can be used again
Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Use the extractor fan
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Store bottles off the tray
- Rinse away soap after showering
Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. 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.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
