How we handle shower tray repair in Shillingford Abbot
A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. If you’re dealing with a damaged area around the waste and edge chips from dropped bottles, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Repairs by material
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
What we can’t put right
We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Acrylic
- Enamelled steel
- Ceramic
- Stone resin
- Cast iron
Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Check the seal every few months
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you cannot see.
What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Shillingford Abbot. The price depends on:
- The colour and finish to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material 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.
Getting a price from photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Something in shot to show the size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A photo taken from further back
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
Repairing versus replacing in Shillingford Abbot

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Shillingford Abbot: your questions answered
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
We can. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
Only if you are sure it is not leaking. Check the ceiling below for damp.
Can you fix a cracked tray?
Generally, as long as it does not flex. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire shower tray and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Shillingford Abbot?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
