Shower tray repair in Berkeley without replacing anything

You do not always need a new tray. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, which is far less work than a replacement. Whether it’s chips or cracks by the plughole and a tray that flexes, we can help, on stone resin, acrylic and enamelled steel alike.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Gloucestershire.

Common problems we fix in Berkeley

On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On solid floors, cracks generally point to an uneven base.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • A damaged area around the waste
  • Scratches in the surface
  • A tray that flexes
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles

What your quote should include

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Aftercare advice
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • What preparation is included

Choosing a repair company

What affects the price in Berkeley

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What the surface is made of
  • Access to the area

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed quote

You can take the pictures on your phone. Make sure they show:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The material, if you know it
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

If you’re in Berkeley and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Honest limits

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Materials we work on in Berkeley

  • Stone resin
  • Enamelled steel
  • Cast iron
  • Ceramic
  • Acrylic

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

How it works

We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. The repair is colour-matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can normally be used the day after.

How to prepare

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Getting a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Related advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Berkeley as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Berkeley questions

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

When can I use the shower again?

Normally by the following day. We will tell you the exact time when we finish.

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes. We can resurface the whole tray for a fresh finish.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

Only if you are sure it isn’t leaking. Look for damp or stains below.

What happens after I send photos?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

Repair or replace in Berkeley?

Replacing a tray generally means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. Repairing it avoids all of that. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
