Shower tray repair in Bridge, done in place
We repair a lot of shower trays. Chips by the waste, cracks across the base and dull, stained surfaces can all be put right without removing the tray. Our repair technicians work on enamelled steel, acrylic and cast iron, and common reasons people contact us are a tray that creaks or moves underfoot and staining and dullness across the tray.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

The process
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let us know about parking or access
- Ensure the area is dry
How to get a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Advice
Common problems we fix in Bridge
The waste is a common starting point for cracks, because that’s where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- A tray that flexes
- Scuffs and light scratches
- Staining and dullness across the tray
Comparing quotes
- When it can be used again
- If travel is included in the price
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
What we can’t put right
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Leaking waste fittings
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder

Surfaces we repair
- Ceramic
- Cast iron
- Stone resin
- Enamelled steel
- Acrylic
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Rinse away soap after showering
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.
Questions from Bridge
Do you work in Bridge?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Bridge from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Repair or replace in Bridge?
If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is normally best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What else we do in Bridge
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
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, then guarantee it for a year.
How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What kind of damage it is
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send photos for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Details of any past repairs
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 we will come back with a fixed figure.
