Shower tray repair in Bournside, done in place

If the entire tray looks tired, we can resurface it, giving it a fresh, even finish. We regularly repair stone resin, cast iron and ceramic, and the jobs we see most are a crack across the base and a damaged area around the waste.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

Why repair rather than replace?

The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. Repairing it takes one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why book with us

  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. It’s left to cure, normally until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Ask for a price

Upload a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Bournside, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Advice

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • How much damage there is
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Getting a price from photos

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The material, if you know it
  • A wider photo showing the entire shower tray

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they cannot be knocked over.

Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below is not visible.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

Questions from Bournside

Can you fix a cracked tray?

Typically, as long as it doesn’t flex. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.

What happens next?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Do you come to Bournside?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Bournside from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

Do you redo the sealant?

Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.

Landlord and trade work in Bournside

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Gloucestershire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Can I fix it myself?

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.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

When we’d advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
