How we handle shower tray repair in Churchend
We repair a lot of shower trays. Chips by the waste, cracks across the base and dull, stained surfaces can all be put right without removing the tray. Our technicians work on stone resin, acrylic and enamelled steel, and the jobs we see most are chipped corners or rims and scuffs and light scratches.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.
What else we do in Churchend
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Questions from Churchend
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes. The entire tray can be resurfaced without removing it.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
How do I book?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Gloucestershire.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Should you replace it?
A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it isn’t: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. A repair is one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Churchend. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
When a repair isn’t the answer
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
