Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Salph End
The waste is a common starting point for cracks, because that’s where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A dull, stained or worn surface
- Chipped corners or rims
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- Damage around the waste
Questions to ask before you book
- How your room will be protected

- Whether the colour is mixed to match

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
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 normally cheaper.

Common questions in Salph End
Do you come to Salph End?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Salph End and the rest of Bedford Borough. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
How long does it take to cure?
We’ll give you the curing time on the day, usually the next day.
How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Salph End?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.
Can you quote from pictures?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below isn’t visible.
How the visit works
Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface for most jobs. The room is left tidy.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- It’s left to cure, normally until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Related advice
Should you replace it?
When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

- Leaking waste fittings
- Trays cracked in several places
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
