When to call us in Knowle St Giles
Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On solid floors, cracks normally point to an uneven base.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Chips on the edges
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- A cracked shower tray
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
Questions to ask before booking
- How the room is protected while they work
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How soon you can use it again
Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
When a repair is not the answer
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- A tray broken in more than one place
- A tray that moves underfoot
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Knowle St Giles
When can I use the shower again?
You’ll get the exact time when we finish.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Should you replace it?
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. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What happens on the day
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface for most jobs. The room is left tidy.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- The repair is colour matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
- Once cured, usually by the day after, you can use the shower.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Have a window or extractor fan available
How to get a price
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Related advice
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Stick to gentle cleaners
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they cannot be knocked over.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
