Repair or replace: which is better?
A new shower tray normally means taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Melksham
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Use the extractor fan
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.
What we’re called out for in Melksham
On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On solid floors, cracks normally point to an uneven base.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- Chipped corners or rims
- A cracked shower tray

Advice
FAQs for Melksham
Do you cover the whole of Wiltshire?
We cover the entire UK, including Melksham and the rest of Wiltshire. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Check the ceiling below for damp.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
When a repair is not the answer
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- A tray that moves underfoot

Repairs by material
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
