Shower Tray Repair for Fairford homes
We travel to Fairford for shower tray chip, crack and scratch repairs and resurfacing. Everything is done in place, and the work is guaranteed.
- Repairs from £95
- Cracks running from the waste
- Staining and dullness across the tray
Materials and what they mean for the repair
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.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Shower tray repair in Fairford, done in place
Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the repair lasts. If you’re dealing with snagging damage in a new bathroom and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- The repair is colour matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
- Once cured, usually by the day after, you can use the shower.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Should you replace it?
When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Rinse the tray after each shower
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.
When to call us in Fairford
Cracks often start at the waste, because that is where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- A crack across the base
- Scratches in the surface
What to look for in a quote
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Whether the price covers travel
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- How much damage there is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Unusual colours or finishes
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. Try to include:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A photo taken from further back
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Fairford
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Fairford questions
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Do you cover the entire of Gloucestershire?
We work UK-wide. Prices do not change with location.
How long before I can shower?
You’ll get the exact time when we finish, normally the next day.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, in case water is getting through.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

What else we do in Fairford
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
