Shower tray repair at your home in Slimbridge
The first thing we do is check the tray: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, or the crack will come back. We will explain what we find. Common call-outs are for a tray that looks tired however much you clean it and scratches in the surface, across cast iron, enamelled steel and stone resin.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Slimbridge: your questions answered
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
What happens next?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Do you redo the sealant?
Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
What affects the price in Slimbridge
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- How many items we do on one visit
- What the surface is made of
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How hard the colour is to match
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any details about the material
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
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: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

What else we do in Slimbridge
What your shower tray is made of matters
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
How it works
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- The tray is left to cure and can generally be used the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know about parking or access
Getting a price
To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Related advice
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below isn’t visible.
Why repair rather than replace?
If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is normally best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Slimbridge. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
