Shower Tray Repair for Boldron homes
Fixed-price shower tray repair in Boldron and the surrounding area, normally in one visit.
- Repairs from £95
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
How to care for the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Check the seal every few months
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.
Shower tray repair in Boldron without replacing anything
The first thing we do is check the tray: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, or the crack will come back. We’ll explain what we find. We work on ceramic, stone resin and acrylic, and common reasons people get in touch are scratches from cleaning or grit and chipped corners or rims.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Honest limits
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- Leaking waste fittings
- A tray broken in more than one place
- A tray that moves underfoot
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
How it works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
How to prepare
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
