DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
Ilchester questions
How much does shower tray repair cost in Ilchester?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Do you work in Ilchester?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Ilchester from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
How long does it take to cure?
You’ll get the exact time when we finish, normally the following day.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.
Repairs by material
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.

Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Replace failing sealant promptly
Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.
Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you can’t see.
What we do, step by step
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know which floor the room is on
How to get a price
