About our shower tray repair in Bainsford
Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. We match the colour and finish so the repair blends in. We regularly repair ceramic, acrylic and cast iron, and common reasons people get in touch are staining and dullness across the tray and a damaged area around the waste.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Repairs by material
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
Bainsford: your questions answered
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes. The entire tray can be resurfaced without removing it.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Do you work in Bainsford?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Bainsford and the rest of Falkirk. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
What we cannot put right
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- Trays cracked in several places
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Bainsford
Dull and stained trays are generally down to cleaning: abrasive pads, strong chemicals and limescale strip the surface finish.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- A damaged area around the waste
- Movement when you stand on it
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
What to look for in a quote
- What prep work is covered
- Who will actually do the work
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
How it works
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, including clearing up.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the damage
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
How to get a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Related advice
Repair or replace: which is better?
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. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to look after the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Check the seal every few months
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Report any creaking or movement early
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.
