What we do, step by step
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface in most cases. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is typically usable the day after.
How to prepare
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
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 is not prepared the repair will not last.
Different materials, different repairs
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Box End questions
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
What does shower tray repair cost?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole shower tray and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the entire UK, including Box End and the rest of Bedford Borough. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll offer you dates.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We come back with a fixed price. There is no obligation to book.
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
Yes, if you’d like us to. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Doing more than one item at once
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What the surface is made of
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Details of any past repairs
- What it’s made of, if you know
For a price in Box End, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
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
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.
Repairing versus replacing in Box End
A new shower tray generally means taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and re-tiling. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Prices start from £95. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Why book with us
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Free fixed quotes from pictures

What we’re called out for in Box End
Most cracked trays are trays that flex: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.
Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Chipped corners or rims
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- A tray that flexes
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How changes to the job are handled
- How to care for the finish
