Shower tray repair at your home in Buckley
Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. We match the colour and finish so the repair blends in. Typical jobs include movement when you stand on it and scuffs and light scratches, in acrylic, ceramic and cast iron.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

What we do, step by step
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We ensure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
- Once cured, usually by the day after, you can use the shower.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Buckley questions
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes. We can resurface the whole tray for a fresh finish without removing it.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Check the seal every few months
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.
Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.
Can I fix it myself?
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.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
Repair or replace in Buckley?
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 do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
