About our shower tray repair in Buckley Wood
In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. We match the colour and finish. We work on acrylic, enamelled steel and cast iron, and the jobs we see most are damage from a refit or building work and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Repairing versus replacing in Buckley Wood
The tray is typically the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.

What affects the price in Buckley Wood
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many areas need work
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material and finish
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send pictures for a quote
You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The material, if you know it
- One picture of the whole shower tray
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

What else we do in Buckley Wood
When a repair is not the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
Materials we work on in Buckley Wood
- Enamelled steel
- Stone resin
- Ceramic
- Acrylic
- Cast iron
How to care for the repair
To keep it looking its best:
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below is not visible.
How the visit works
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Keep a parking space free if you can

Advice
FAQs for Buckley Wood
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Buckley Wood?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Can you fix a cracked tray?
Frequently. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, in case water is getting through.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
