Shower tray repair & resurfacing in Downend, Bristol
We travel to Downend for shower tray chip, crack and scratch repairs and resurfacing. Everything is done in place, and the work is guaranteed.
- Repairs from £95
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Shower tray repair in Downend without replacing anything
Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the repair lasts. Common call-outs are for a damaged area around the waste and snagging damage in a new bathroom, on ceramic, acrylic and stone resin.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Downend as everywhere else we work.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and tiling again. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Downend questions

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Do you cover Downend?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Downend. The price depends on:
- The material
- The colour and finish to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether we combine several jobs
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed quote
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff:
- Get a moving tray checked
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Check the seal every few months
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
