Shower tray repair in Avon Castle, done in place
A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. 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 stone resin, enamelled steel and ceramic, and the jobs we see most are chips or cracks by the plughole and scuffs and light scratches.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Common problems we fix in Avon Castle
Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Chips normally come from dropped bottles.
The things customers typically mention when they call include:
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- Scratches in the surface
- Cracks running from the waste
Questions to ask before you book
- Aftercare advice
- What preparation is included
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Who will actually do the work
Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Get a moving tray checked
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.
Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.
What we do, step by step
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
Preparing for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Questions from Avon Castle
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole shower tray and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
Not until you know the crack isn’t letting water through. Check the ceiling below for damp.
Do you reseal the tray as well?
Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- How many areas need work
- How hard the colour is to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many items we do on one visit
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Natural light rather than flash
- One picture of the whole shower tray
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any details about the material
Send us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Avon Castle, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Different materials, different repairs
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Should you replace it?
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. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good.
