Questions from Arclid
Do you cover Arclid?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Arclid from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
How much does shower tray repair cost in Arclid?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Shower tray repair at your home in Arclid
Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the crack does not come back. Whether it’s chips on the edges and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it, we can help.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Check the seal every few months
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.
When to call us in Arclid
Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Chips usually come from dropped bottles.
Clients generally contact us about:
- A cracked shower tray
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
- Movement when you stand on it
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it

What we do, step by step
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- The repair is colour matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
- Once cured, typically by the day after, you can use the shower.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Advice
What your shower tray is made of matters
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.

Should you replace it?
A new shower tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and tiling again. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Arclid. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
