Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.
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.
Shower tray repair in Bickingcott, done in place
Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the crack doesn’t come back. Our repair technicians work on stone resin, enamelled steel and cast iron, and common reasons people get in touch are scratches in the surface and chipped corners or rims.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Bickingcott and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

How to look after the repair
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Get a moving tray checked
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
What happens on the day
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
- The tray is left to cure and can generally be used the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
What affects the price in Bickingcott
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Access to the area
- The type of damage
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The colour and finish to match
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Bickingcott. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A picture taken from further back
Email us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Bickingcott, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
