Shower tray repair at your home in Ellacombe
Shower tray repairs are one of our most common jobs. Chipped edges, cracks and worn finishes can all be put right without removing the tray. If you are dealing with scratches in the surface and a tray that flexes, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What a repair can’t fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic

Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ellacombe as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
For anyone letting property in or around Ellacombe, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.
Signs you need shower tray repair in Ellacombe
Trays crack mainly because they move: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.
Look out for these signs:
- A dull, stained or worn surface
- Damage from a refit or building work
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- Cracks running from the waste

Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
- Check the seal every few months
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.
Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.
Your questions about shower tray repair in Ellacombe
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
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 before the end of a tenancy.
When can I use the shower again?
Typically the day after. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.
Can you fix a cracked tray?
Often. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
What do you need from me?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Different materials, different repairs
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
The process
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, including clearing up.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is typically usable the following day.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Ask for a price
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.
Advice
How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Ellacombe. The price reflects:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What the surface is made of
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The type of damage
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from pictures
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- One picture of the entire shower tray
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Where you are, by postcode
Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Ellacombe, and we will reply with a fixed price.
