When we would advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Ceramic
- Cast iron
- Enamelled steel
- Stone resin
- Acrylic
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Bacup. What changes the price is:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The type of damage
- How many items we do on one visit
- Access to the area
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Where you are, by postcode
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. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
The process
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. Allow a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
Before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Check the seal every few months
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.
Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below isn’t visible.
Common problems we fix in Bacup
Rigid trays do not bend, they crack if the floor beneath them isn’t flat and fully supported. Timber floors that move can cause it too.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- Scuffs and light scratches
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
