DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Shower tray repair at your home in Chippenham
We check the tray before repairing it: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, otherwise any crack returns. We will explain what we find. Whether it’s damage around the waste and damage from a refit or building work, we can help.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Common questions in Chippenham
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do you come to Chippenham?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Chippenham for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Check the ceiling below for damp.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
Should you replace it?
A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it isn’t: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. Repairing it takes one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Take a look at our pricing.
Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
When to call us in Chippenham
Most cracked trays are trays that flex: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Chips normally come from dropped bottles.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Scuffs and light scratches
- A cracked shower tray
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- A dull, stained or worn surface

What we do, step by step
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We make sure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- The repair is colour matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
- The tray is left to cure and can generally be used the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure the area is dry
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
How to get a price
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Advice
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Check the seal every few months
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Report any creaking or movement early
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Chippenham. The price comes down to:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What kind of damage it is
- How many areas need work
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your pictures
Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. Try to include:
- Any details about the material
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Details of any past repairs
- One picture of the whole shower tray
Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Chippenham, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
