Work for landlords and builders
If you manage property in Buckstone, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Shower tray repair in Buckstone, done in place
Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the repair lasts. Our technicians work on acrylic, enamelled steel and cast iron, and the jobs we see most are movement when you stand on it and a cracked shower tray.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

How the visit works
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
- It’s left to cure, generally until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Clear the area around the damage
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Related advice
Repair or replace: which is better?
The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing it takes one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

What your shower tray is made of matters
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
FAQs for Buckstone
How do I book?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

What else we do in Buckstone
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Buckstone. The price comes down to:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Access to the area
- Doing more than one item at once
- How hard the colour is to match
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- One picture of the whole shower tray
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Send us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Buckstone, and we will reply with a fixed price.
What we are called out for in Buckstone
Dull and stained trays are typically down to cleaning: abrasive pads, strong chemicals and limescale strip the surface finish.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Damage around the waste
- Chipped corners or rims
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
What your quote should include
- Who will actually do the work
- What protection goes down before work starts
- How the colour is matched
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
What a repair cannot fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A tray that moves underfoot
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
