Shower tray repair across Preston and nearby, typically in one visit.
- Repairs from £95

For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.
Questions from Preston
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
When can I use the shower again?
Typically the next day. We will tell you the exact time when we finish.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.
Do you cover the entire of Gloucestershire?
Across the UK, so Preston is covered. Prices don’t change with location.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many items we do on one visit
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your photos
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The material, if you know it
Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your GL7 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

What else we do in Preston
Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best:
- Store bottles off the tray
- Check the seal every few months
- Use the extractor fan
- Report any creaking or movement early
Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.
Repair or replace: which is better?
The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing it takes one visit. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

What happens on the day
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find 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 entire tray.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is typically usable the following day.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Open a window if you can
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
