Shower tray repair in Cheswick without replacing anything
A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can typically be repaired in place, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. We regularly repair stone resin, ceramic and enamelled steel, and people most often call us about cracks running from the waste and staining and dullness across the tray.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Repair or replace in Cheswick?
When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How it works
We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, you can use the shower.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Cheswick: your questions answered
Do you come to Cheswick?
We do. We send a technician to Cheswick for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
What happens after I send photos?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
What areas do you cover?
The whole UK, including all of South Gloucestershire. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
When can I use the shower again?
We will give you the curing time on the day, generally the day after.
When a repair is not the answer
We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Stone resin
- Cast iron
- Enamelled steel

For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Cheswick as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
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.

Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below isn’t visible.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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, then guarantee it for a year.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Signs you need shower tray repair in Cheswick
Most cracked trays are trays that flex: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.
Clients generally contact us about:
- Movement when you stand on it
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- A dull, stained or worn surface
- Damage around the waste
Before you book anyone
- What happens if they find more damage
- How the colour is matched
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Cheswick. What changes the price is:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- What the surface is made of
- How many areas need work
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Something in shot to show the size
- The material, if you know it
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
