About our shower tray repair in Rudgeway
Shower tray repairs are one of our most common jobs. Chips by the waste, cracks across the base and dull, stained surfaces are all things we fix in place. We work on acrylic, ceramic and stone resin, and common reasons people get in touch are a tray that looks tired however much you clean it and edge chips from dropped bottles.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Rudgeway and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

For landlords and businesses
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in South Gloucestershire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
How to care for the repair
Aftercare is simple:
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Get a moving tray checked
- Check the seal every few months
Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- A tray that moves underfoot
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Rudgeway questions
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes. We can resurface the entire tray for a fresh finish.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Do you work in Rudgeway?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Rudgeway and the rest of South Gloucestershire. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What we are called out for in Rudgeway
Cracks often start at the waste, because that is where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- A damaged area around the waste
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- Chips caused during fitting
- Staining and dullness across the tray
Questions to ask before you book
- How the room is protected while they work
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
What happens on the day
Your technician turns up when we said we would 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 for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- 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 normally usable the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

Advice
Why repair rather than replace?
A new shower tray frequently means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. Repairing it avoids all of that. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Rudgeway. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
