What we’re called out for in Redland
Most cracked trays are trays that flex: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Chips generally come from dropped bottles.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- A crack across the base
- Chipped corners or rims
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
Comparing quotes

Shower tray repair in Redland without replacing anything
We check the tray before repairing it: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, otherwise any crack returns. We will tell you if that is the case. We are often asked to fix a tray that creaks or moves underfoot and scratches from cleaning or grit, across ceramic, stone resin and acrylic.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

What happens on the day
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. Allow a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
- Once cured, typically by the next day, you can use the shower.
Before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How hard the colour is to match
- How much damage there is
- Whether we combine several jobs
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
Send photos for a quote
Phone pictures are fine. Make sure they show:
- One picture of the whole shower tray
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Details of any past repairs
- Natural light rather than flash
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Different materials, different repairs
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.
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Get a moving tray checked
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they can’t be knocked over.
Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.
When a repair isn’t the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
