Shower tray repair at your home in Clifton
Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. The tray stays in place, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. Typical jobs include cracks running from the waste and movement when you stand on it, in acrylic, ceramic and stone resin.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Advice
Your questions about shower tray repair in Clifton
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
How long does it take to cure?
Normally by the following day. We will confirm before we leave.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Do you come to Clifton?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Clifton from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a tray typically means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. A repair leaves all of that untouched, at a fraction of the cost. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Other services in Clifton
For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Clifton use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Store bottles off the tray
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Use the extractor fan
Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.
Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.

How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Clifton. The price depends on:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How hard the colour is to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How easy the damage is to reach
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Send photos for a quote
Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Natural light rather than flash
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.
