About our shower tray repair in Bicker Gauntlet
We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. The tray stays in place, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. Our repair technicians work on ceramic, stone resin and enamelled steel, and the jobs we see most are a damaged area around the waste and scuffs and light scratches.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
Repair or replace in Bicker Gauntlet?
A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it isn’t: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair is one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. 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.

Bicker Gauntlet questions
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
We can. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Are there extra charges for Bicker Gauntlet?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
What happens if you find more damage?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Advice
What your shower tray is made of matters
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Check the seal every few months
- Use the extractor fan
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.
