Repairs by material
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Use the extractor fan
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Replace failing sealant promptly
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a tray usually means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. A repair leaves all of that untouched and costs far less. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Compton Abbas. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What happens on the day
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We ensure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- The tray is left to cure and can generally be used the day after.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Compton Abbas. The price comes down to:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material and finish
- How much damage there is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send pictures for a quote
You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

Common questions in Compton Abbas
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
We would stop using it until it’s repaired, because water may be getting underneath.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
We can. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
How long before I can shower?
We’ll give you the curing time on the day.
For landlords and businesses
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

- A dull, stained or worn surface
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- Scratches in the surface
