What your shower tray is made of matters
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
Shower tray repair in Hope Bowdler without replacing anything
In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. The colour and finish are matched so the repair blends in. If you’re dealing with movement when you stand on it and damage around the waste, we can help.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Shropshire.

What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Hope Bowdler questions
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.
Do you redo the sealant?
Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole shower tray and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
What affects the price in Hope Bowdler
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- What kind of damage it is
- How many items we do on one visit
- Access to the area
- The size and number of damaged areas
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Quotes from your photos
You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- Something in shot to show the size
- The material, if you know it
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Report any creaking or movement early
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you can’t see.
