About our shower tray repair in Pilton
In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. We match the colour and finish so the repair blends in. Our technicians work on enamelled steel, acrylic and cast iron, and people most frequently call us about movement when you stand on it and chipped corners or rims.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Pilton questions
Do you work in Pilton?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Pilton for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Can you fix a cracked tray?
Often. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
How long before I can shower?
Normally the next day. We will tell you the exact time when we finish.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
What happens on the day
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Ensure the area is dry

Repairs by material
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

What else we do in Pilton
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
- Ventilate the room after showers
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you can’t see.
What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- The colour and finish to match
- How much damage there is
- The type of damage
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Any details about the material
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a tray usually means removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and tiling again. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
