  • Scratches in the surface
  • Chipped corners or rims
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole

Questions to ask before booking

  • Who will actually do the work
  • How the colour is matched

  • If travel is included in the price

Choosing a repair company

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 typically takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is usually usable the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Related advice

When a repair isn’t the answer

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Leaking waste fittings
  • A tray broken in more than one place

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

  • Acrylic
  • Enamelled steel
  • Cast iron
  • Stone resin
  • Ceramic

How to look after the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.

A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Bucknell questions

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

What happens after I send photos?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Can tenants book a repair?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

What areas do you cover?

All of Shropshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Work for landlords and builders

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

What affects the price in Bucknell

Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Bucknell. The price comes down to:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material
  • Unusual colours or finishes

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed price

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The material, if you know it
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your SY7 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new shower tray usually means removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and tiling again. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
