Shower Tray Repair for Buttsole homes
Our technicians come to Buttsole for shower tray chip, crack and scratch repairs and resurfacing. Nothing is taken out, and the work is guaranteed.
- Repairs from £95
- Cracks running from the waste
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
What your shower tray is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Shower tray repair in Buttsole, done in place
A worn or stained tray can be resurfaced, giving it a fresh, even finish without removing the screen or tiles. Whether it’s scratches from cleaning or grit and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot, we can normally put it right, on enamelled steel, cast iron and stone resin alike.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Buttsole. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How the visit works
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- It’s left to cure, normally until the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Clear the area around the damage
- Ensure the area is dry

What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How easy the damage is to reach
Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
How to get a fixed price
Phone pictures are fine. Ensure they show:
- A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One sharp close-up of the damage
To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Get a moving tray checked
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
