What your shower tray is made of matters
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

What affects the price in South Bockhampton
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- The material
- The type of damage
- How much damage there is
- How hard the colour is to match
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- A picture taken from further back
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Natural light rather than flash
- Details of any past repairs
To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.
What we do, step by step
We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we leave the room as we found it.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
Preparing for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Do you need shower tray repair in South Bockhampton?
Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend if the floor beneath them isn’t flat and fully supported. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Damage from a refit or building work
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- A tray that flexes
- Chips or cracks by the plughole

Repairing versus replacing in South Bockhampton
Replacing a tray generally means taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and tiling again. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What we can’t put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- Leaking waste fittings
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Enamelled steel
- Stone resin
- Acrylic
- Cast iron
- Ceramic
Common questions in South Bockhampton
How do I get a price for shower tray repair in South Bockhampton?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes. We can resurface the entire tray for a fresh finish.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Do you reseal the tray as well?
Yes. Add it to your quote and we’ll do both on one visit.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can you fix a cracked tray?
Frequently. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.
How long before I can shower?
We will give you the curing time on the day.
