DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
Shower tray repair in Old Bilton without replacing anything
You do not always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can generally be repaired in place, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. We regularly repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are a tray that looks tired however much you clean it and movement when you stand on it.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Repair or replace: which is better?
If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is typically best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.
Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Old Bilton as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
FAQs for Old Bilton
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire shower tray and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Do you redo the sealant?
Yes, if you’d like us to. After a repair is a good time to reseal.
Do you work in Old Bilton?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Old Bilton from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
How long before I can shower?
Typically the day after. We’ll confirm before we leave.
What happens on the day
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to look after it.
- We make sure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is generally usable the following day.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let us know about parking or access

Repairs by material
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Honest limits
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic
- Cast iron
- Enamelled steel
- Stone resin
- Ceramic
