Shipton Solars questions
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
We can. After a repair is a good time to reseal.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You’ll get a fixed quote back. You are under no obligation.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Shower tray repair in Shipton Solars without replacing anything
Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, or resurface the whole tray if it’s worn. Nothing is taken out, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. We regularly repair enamelled steel, stone resin and cast iron, and common reasons people contact us are a tray that creaks or moves underfoot and a crack across the base.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

What affects the price in Shipton Solars
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Shipton Solars. The price comes down to:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Access to the area
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send photos for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- Leaking waste fittings
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Shipton Solars
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
The process
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, tidy-up included.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure the area is dry
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Related advice
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Check the seal every few months
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below isn’t visible.
