What else we do in Compton Acres
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.
Should you replace it?
The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing it takes one visit. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Compton Acres. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Access to the area
- What the surface is made of
- The type of damage
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A photo taken from further back
- Something in shot to show the size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Natural light rather than flash
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.

Advice
What we are called out for in Compton Acres
Cracks frequently start at the waste, because that’s where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Movement when you stand on it
- A dull, stained or worn surface
- A damaged area around the waste
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How soon you can use it again
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- What aftercare is recommended
Compton Acres: your questions answered
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can tenants book a repair?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Get a moving tray checked
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Replace failing sealant promptly
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.
