Materials and what they mean for the repair
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.
About our shower tray repair in Kingsholm
You do not always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can generally be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. We regularly repair acrylic, ceramic and stone resin, and people most often call us about scratches from cleaning or grit and snagging damage in a new bathroom.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a tray usually means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. A repair leaves all of that untouched, at a fraction of the cost. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Kingsholm
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Honest limits
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Stone resin
- Enamelled steel
- Ceramic
- Cast iron
- Acrylic
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.
Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many items we do on one visit
- The type of damage
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Quotes from your pictures
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
- Details of any past repairs
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- What it’s made of, if you know
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
The process
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- It’s left to cure, generally until the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
How to get a price
Email us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Kingsholm, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
