How we handle shower tray repair in Bilting
Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the repair lasts. We regularly repair ceramic, cast iron and acrylic, and common reasons people get in touch are scratches from cleaning or grit and chips or cracks by the plughole.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a tray typically means removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and tiling again. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What affects the price in Bilting
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- How many areas need work
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.
Quotes from your pictures
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Something in shot to show the size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A picture taken from further back
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
When we’d advise against a repair
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Leaking waste fittings
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Ceramic
- Stone resin
- Cast iron
- Enamelled steel
- Acrylic
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
The process
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Keep a parking space free if you can
How to get a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Related advice
When to call us in Bilting
Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend if the floor beneath them is not flat and fully supported. Timber floors that move can cause it too.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- Cracks running from the waste
- Chipped corners or rims
- Scuffs and light scratches

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
