Shower tray repair in Priston, done in place
A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can generally be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. We work on enamelled steel, ceramic and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are a crack across the base and movement when you stand on it.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Priston and across Bath and North East Somerset.

Priston questions
What happens next?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Do you work in Priston?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Priston for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
In most cases. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.
How much does shower tray repair cost in Priston?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
What do you need from me?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
For landlords and businesses
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Use the extractor fan
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.
What happens on the day
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
