Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- The material
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How much damage there is
- How hard the colour is to match
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Bishopswood. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Natural light rather than flash
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
About our shower tray repair in Bishopswood
We repair a lot of shower trays. Chipped edges, cracks and worn finishes can all be put right without removing the tray. We work on cast iron, stone resin and ceramic, and people most frequently call us about a tray that flexes and scuffs and light scratches.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

How the visit works
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to care for it.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
- It’s left to cure, normally until the next day.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Make sure the area is dry
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Ask for a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole shower tray, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. 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.
Should you replace it?
A new shower tray typically means taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Bishopswood
Are there extra charges for Bishopswood?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, because water may be getting underneath.
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below is not visible.
