Different materials, different repairs

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Hotwells

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so taking one out disturbs a lot. A repair keeps everything as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why book with us

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

When a repair isn’t the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • A tray broken in more than one place

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

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. The job generally runs to a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, including clearing up.

  1. We make sure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. The repair is colour-matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is normally usable the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Open a window if you can

What affects the price in Hotwells

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What the surface is made of
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed quote

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A wider photo showing the entire shower tray

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

FAQs for Hotwells

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Is my repair covered?

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Bristol.

How soon can you come?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

What does shower tray repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your BS8 postcode.

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach

Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.
