Shower tray repair & resurfacing in Sling, Gloucestershire
Local shower tray repair for Sling: photo quotes, tidy work and a year’s guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- Damage from a refit or building work
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Check the seal every few months
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.
Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you cannot see.
Shower tray repair in Sling without replacing anything
Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the crack does not come back. We regularly repair stone resin, ceramic and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are a tray that flexes and scratches in the surface.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Repair or replace in Sling?
The tray is generally the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so taking one out disturbs a lot. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
When to call us in Sling
Dull and stained trays are generally down to cleaning: abrasive pads, strong chemicals and limescale wear the finish away.
The things customers generally mention when they call are:
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- Chips caused during fitting

What affects the price in Sling
Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Sling. The price reflects:
- The material and finish
- Access to the area
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send pictures for a quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any details about the material
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
The process
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire 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 usually be used the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Make sure the area is dry
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
