How to look after the repair
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.

When a repair is not the answer
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- A tray that moves underfoot
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- Trays cracked in several places
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic
- Enamelled steel
- Cast iron
- Ceramic
- Stone resin
What your shower tray is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

What else we do in Kelston
Why repair rather than replace?
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. In an older home in a village like Kelston, replacing a shower tray can be harder than it sounds: original pieces may not match modern sizes, and access can be awkward. A repair keeps the original.
Prices start from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

The process
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result. Somewhere like Kelston needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring everything needed for the shower tray repair, so there is no second trip.
- We make sure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- The tray is left to cure and can usually be used the next day.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
How to get a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes cost nothing and you’re under no obligation.
Related advice
Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
When to call us in Kelston
Most cracked trays are trays that flex: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Chips on the edges
- A damaged area around the waste
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
We also work for schools, leisure centres and businesses, so if you care for a building such as Oldfield School, changing-room showers can be repaired in place too.
