Shower tray repair at your home in Bishop's Castle
Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, or resurface the whole tray if it’s worn. The tray stays in place, so the enclosure and tiles aren’t disturbed. Our technicians work on acrylic, cast iron and ceramic, and common reasons people contact us are chips caused during fitting and a cracked shower tray.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

How the visit works
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- 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, usually until the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Open a window if you can
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Ask for a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Advice
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Check the seal every few months
Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.

DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
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.
Repairs by material
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Honest limits
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Trays cracked in several places
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder

What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- How much damage there is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What kind of damage it is
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Quotes from your photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Questions from Bishop's Castle
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
Not until you know the crack isn’t letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes. The whole tray can be resurfaced without removing it.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Do you cover the entire of Shropshire?
All of Shropshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
