Materials and what they mean for the repair
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Your questions about shower tray repair in Bilston
Do you reseal the tray as well?
We can. After a repair is a good time to reseal.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the whole UK, including Bilston and the rest of Midlothian. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.
Can you fix a cracked tray?
Usually, as long as it does not flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Can you quote from photos?
Generally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Bilston
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.
Common problems we fix in Bilston
Most cracked trays are trays that flex: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.
People normally call us after spotting something like this:
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- Edge chips from dropped bottles

Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Get a moving tray checked
- Store bottles off the tray
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Bilston. The price reflects:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Bilston. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.
What we do, step by step
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
- It’s left to cure, typically until the following day.
How to prepare
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Getting a price
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
