Different materials, different repairs
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Shower tray repair in Bidwell without replacing anything
We repair plenty of shower trays. Chips by the waste, cracks across the base and dull, stained surfaces can all be put right without removing the tray. Whether it’s chips or cracks by the plughole and a dull, stained or worn surface, we can normally put it right, on stone resin, acrylic and enamelled steel alike.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee.

Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Use the extractor fan
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Rinse the tray after each shower
Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.
For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
What we are called out for in Bidwell
On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed:
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- Scratches in the surface
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- Movement when you stand on it

Related advice
Bidwell: your questions answered
What information do you need?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
In most cases. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.
What happens after I send pictures?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, typically with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.
Do you cover the whole of Central Bedfordshire?
Everywhere in the UK, Bidwell included. Travel is included in the price.
When we’d advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair is one visit. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
