How we handle shower tray repair in Somerford
You don’t always need a new tray. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. We regularly repair ceramic, stone resin and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are snagging damage in a new bathroom and cracks running from the waste.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Common questions in Somerford
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Do you redo the sealant?
We can. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.
Can tenants book a repair?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
How long does it take to cure?
Normally by the following day. We will confirm before we leave.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Can I fix it myself?
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.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

How it works
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Clear the area around the damage
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Should you replace it?
A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it is not: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. Repairing it takes one visit. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Somerford. The price reflects:
- The material and finish
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The type of damage
Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from photos
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A picture taken from further back
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
