Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Ripple. The price depends on:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What the surface is made of

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Ripple. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One picture of the whole shower tray

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Ripple

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ripple use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Questions from Ripple

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Do you cover the whole of Gloucestershire?

We cover the entire UK, including Ripple and the rest of Gloucestershire. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

Do you reseal the tray as well?

Yes. Add it to your quote and we will do both on one visit.

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes. We can resurface the whole tray for a fresh finish.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Ripple

Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On solid floors, cracks typically point to an uneven base.

Common reasons people in Ripple contact us are:

  • A damaged area around the waste
  • Chipped corners or rims
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • A cracked shower tray

Questions to ask before booking

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Who will actually do the work

Choosing a repair company

The process

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
  5. It’s left to cure, generally until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Ask for a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Repair or replace in Ripple?

When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
