Different materials, different repairs
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
About our shower tray repair in Shellow Bowells
In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. The colour and finish are matched so the repair blends in. Whether it’s movement when you stand on it and chipped corners or rims, we can help, on cast iron, stone resin and ceramic alike.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Repair or replace in Shellow Bowells?
A new shower tray normally means taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Why us?
- We leave the room as we found it
- One visit for most repairs
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

Common questions in Shellow Bowells
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
Usually, as long as it doesn’t flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
How much does shower tray repair cost in Shellow Bowells?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Are there extra charges for Shellow Bowells?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire shower tray and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
What areas do you cover?
All of Essex, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Shellow Bowells. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

- We check the tray for movement first.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.

- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Use the extractor fan
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.
