Shower tray repair at your home in Nailsea

A worn or stained tray can be resurfaced, for a clean, uniform finish. We regularly repair ceramic, acrylic and stone resin, and common reasons people get in touch are chips on the edges and a cracked shower tray.

In a town like Nailsea, shower trays are normally in en suites and family bathrooms. A crack or chip does not mean a new tray, as long as it’s firmly supported.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Nailsea questions

Can you fix shower trays in a rental near Nailsea & Backwell station?

Yes, rental work is a big part of what we do, and a repair between tenants is typically quicker than replacing.

Do you take on commercial work in Nailsea?

Yes. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations and work for schools, leisure centres and businesses. Tell us about access and timings for the building.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

In most cases. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

What happens after I send photos?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Do you need shower tray repair in Nailsea?

Rigid trays do not bend, they crack if the floor beneath them isn’t flat and fully supported. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • A crack across the base
  • Chipped corners or rims
  • A tray that flexes

Rented homes near Nailsea & Backwell station (about 0.9 miles south-east) change hands often, and repairing shower trays between tenants is quicker than replacing them.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

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 popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

How the visit works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring all our kit in the van, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work. All we need in Nailsea is access to the room and a parking space nearby. One visit is normally enough.

  1. We make sure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
  5. Once cured, generally by the next day, you can use the shower.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Why repair rather than replace?

If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is generally best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. In Nailsea, replacement often means days of disruption in a busy family home. A repair normally takes a day or less.

Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Why us?

  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many areas need work
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from photos

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Something in shot to show the size

If you’re in Nailsea and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

How to look after the repair

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

Rinse the tray down after showering, 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 cause damage underneath.

Honest limits

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
