About our shower tray repair in Buckland
We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. Nothing is taken out, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. We work on enamelled steel, ceramic and stone resin, and common reasons people contact us are snagging damage in a new bathroom and chips or cracks by the plughole.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Common problems we fix in Buckland
Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.
People normally call us after spotting something like this:
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- A cracked shower tray
- A tray that flexes
- Scuffs and light scratches
Questions to ask before booking
- What preparation is included
- Whether the price covers travel
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- How long it needs to cure
What your shower tray is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Work for landlords and builders
If you manage property in Buckland, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Buckland use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
When we would advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- Trays cracked in several places
- Leaking waste fittings
- A tray that moves underfoot
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Ceramic
- Acrylic
- Cast iron
- Stone resin
- Enamelled steel
How it works
You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We ensure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- 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 next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

Repair or replace in Buckland?
A new shower tray typically means taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Prices start from £95.
