Shower Tray Repair in Bullbridge
Local shower tray repair for Bullbridge: photo quotes, tidy work and a year’s guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
- A cracked shower tray
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
About our shower tray repair in Bullbridge
A worn or stained tray can be resurfaced, giving it a fresh, even finish without removing the screen or tiles. Our repair technicians work on ceramic, enamelled steel and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are scratches in the surface and a crack across the base.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Bullbridge: your questions answered
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
We would stop using it until it’s repaired, in case water is getting through.
When a repair is not the answer
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Enamelled steel
- Cast iron
- Stone resin
- Acrylic
- Ceramic
For landlords and businesses
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. 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.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What else we do in Bullbridge
The process
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We tidy up before we leave 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 tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Should you replace it?
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. A repair is one visit. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

What your shower tray is made of matters
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
