About our shower tray repair in Colston
Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, or resurface the entire tray if it’s worn. Nothing is taken out, so the enclosure and tiles are not disturbed. Common call-outs are for scratches from cleaning or grit and edge chips from dropped bottles, in cast iron, ceramic and stone resin.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Colston questions
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Do you work in Colston?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Colston from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

What else we do in Colston
What a repair can’t fix
We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- Leaking waste fittings
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we work on in Colston
- Stone resin
- Acrylic
- Enamelled steel
- Ceramic
- Cast iron
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Get a moving tray checked
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Colston as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Different materials, different repairs
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
What happens on the day
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, including clearing up.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- It’s left to cure, generally until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Doing more than one item at once
- Unusual colours or finishes
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Colston. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Any details about the material
- One picture of the entire shower tray
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
If you are in Colston and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a tray typically means removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
