About our shower tray repair in Bucklerheads
A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, which is far less work than a replacement. We are often asked to fix snagging damage in a new bathroom and a dull, stained or worn surface, in enamelled steel, ceramic and stone resin.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What your shower tray is made of matters
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a tray normally involves 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. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Bucklerheads. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Landlord and trade work in Bucklerheads
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Bucklerheads use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
How to look after the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Use the extractor fan
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.

Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

The process
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- The repair is colour-matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
- Once cured, generally by the next day, you can use the shower.
How to prepare
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
