How we handle shower tray repair in Ram Hill
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. If you’re dealing with a crack across the base and scuffs and light scratches, we can generally put it right, on enamelled steel, ceramic and cast iron alike.
For a rural address like Ram Hill, tell us about access and parking, and we’ll organise the visit.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

Ram Hill homes and their showers
Rented homes near Yate station (about 1.9 miles north-east) change hands frequently, and repairing shower trays between tenants is quicker than replacing them. Facilities teams at buildings such as The Manor Coalpit Heath Church of England Primary School can book us for changing-room showers too.
Ram Hill is about 2 miles north-east of Mangotsfield, in South Gloucestershire. We agree a date that works for you, and you will know when to expect us, so you’re not left waiting in all day. Our repair technicians cover all 110 towns and villages in South Gloucestershire. Our jobs stretch from Ram Hill to Birmingham (70 miles away).

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. A repair is one visit. Replacement in Ram Hill means trades, travel and waste removal, while a repair is a single visit.
Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

What affects the price in Ram Hill
Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Ram Hill. The price reflects:
- Access to the area
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material and finish
- How hard the colour is to match
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
- Details of any past repairs
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Check the seal every few months
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.
Different materials, different repairs
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
What we do, step by step
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we leave the room as we found it. For a rural address like Ram Hill, we plan the journey in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives or where to park. We bring everything needed for the shower tray repair, so there’s no second trip.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear the area around the damage

What else we do in Ram Hill
Questions from Ram Hill
Do you take on commercial work in Ram Hill?
Yes. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations and work for schools, leisure centres and businesses. Tell us about access and timings for the building.
Do you come out to small places like Ram Hill?
We do: Ram Hill is covered like any town. Just mention any tricky access.
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
Frequently. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, in case water is getting through.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
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 repair can’t fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Leaking waste fittings
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Stone resin
- Cast iron
- Acrylic
