Shower tray repair in Patchway without replacing anything
You don’t always need a new tray. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, which is far less work than a replacement. We work on enamelled steel, acrylic and ceramic, and common reasons people contact us are cracks running from the waste and a tray that flexes.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
- Use the extractor fan
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Replace failing sealant promptly
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

How it works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which generally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- We make sure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
- The tray is left to cure and can typically be used the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Advice
What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Patchway. The price depends on:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Access to the area
- The material
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send photos for a quote
Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A picture taken from further back
- Natural light rather than flash
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

What your shower tray is made of matters
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
