About our shower tray repair in Shotton Colliery
We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, or resurface the whole tray if it’s worn. The tray stays in place, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. We work on enamelled steel, ceramic and acrylic, and people most often call us about a tray that looks tired however much you clean it and damage from a refit or building work.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What affects the price in Shotton Colliery
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What the surface is made of
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The material, if you know it
Email us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Shotton Colliery, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
When a repair isn’t the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- Trays cracked in several places
- A tray that moves underfoot
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair
- Stone resin
- Ceramic
- Acrylic
- Cast iron
- Enamelled steel
How the visit works
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, including clearing up.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
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 to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Common questions in Shotton Colliery
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
How long does it take to cure?
We’ll give you the curing time on the day.
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
We can. After a repair is a good time to reseal.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Shotton Colliery?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best:
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Report any creaking or movement early
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.
What your shower tray is made of matters
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
