Different materials, different repairs
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Shower tray repair at your home in Bowston
Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the crack doesn’t come back. We work on enamelled steel, stone resin and cast iron, and people most often call us about edge chips from dropped bottles and movement when you stand on it.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

When to call us in Bowston
Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On solid floors, cracks usually point to an uneven base.
Look out for these signs:
- Scratches in the surface
- Movement when you stand on it
- Cracks running from the waste
- Chips on the edges

Repairing versus replacing in Bowston
When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Bowston. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Why book with us
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- One visit for most repairs
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- A fixed quote before you book

What affects the price in Bowston
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How much damage there is
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send pictures for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Natural light rather than flash
- A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
The process
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Getting a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best:
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Get a moving tray checked
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they can’t be knocked over.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
