- Repairs from £95
- A crack across the base
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
Shower tray repair in Bulkeley, done in place
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. If you are dealing with chips caused during fitting and edge chips from dropped bottles, we can help, on enamelled steel, acrylic and ceramic alike.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee.

Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Get a moving tray checked
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

What we can’t put right
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- A tray broken in more than one place
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Cast iron
- Ceramic
- Stone resin
- Acrylic
- Enamelled steel
What we do, step by step
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- The repair is colour matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
- The tray is left to cure and can usually be used the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Ask for a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a tray normally means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. A repair leaves all of that untouched, at a fraction of the cost. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Bulkeley. The price reflects:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many items we do on one visit
- Access to the area
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed price
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A photo taken from further back
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Something in shot to show the size

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.
Questions from Bulkeley
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole shower tray and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
What happens next?
You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
Yes, if you’d like us to. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
