Shower tray repair at your home in Lower Bodinnar
A cracked or chipped shower tray doesn’t always need replacing. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. If you’re dealing with staining and dullness across the tray and a cracked shower tray, we can help, on stone resin, cast iron and acrylic alike.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

How to care for the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Get a moving tray checked
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.
Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
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 generally the cheaper route.
Repairs by material
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

Questions from Lower Bodinnar
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you reseal the tray as well?
Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Lower Bodinnar. The price depends on:
- The colour and finish to match
- What the surface is made of
- Access to the area
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Natural light rather than flash
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

- We check the tray for movement first.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
