Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
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.
Shower tray repair in Car Colston, 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. Typical jobs include a dull, stained or worn surface and movement when you stand on it, on cast iron, acrylic and stone resin.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Car Colston: your questions answered
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.
Can you fix a cracked tray?
Normally, as long as it does not flex. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
We can. After a repair is a good time to reseal.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
What happens after I send photos?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Honest limits
We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- A tray that moves underfoot
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Ceramic
- Stone resin
- Acrylic
- Cast iron
- Enamelled steel
What we do, step by step
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which generally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Advice
What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Car Colston. What changes the price is:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many items we do on one visit
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, 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.
Send photos for a quote
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The material, if you know it
- A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.

Why repair rather than replace?
When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
