About our shower tray repair in St Brides
The first thing we do is check the tray: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, otherwise any crack returns. We’ll tell you if that is the case. We regularly repair cast iron, acrylic and stone resin, and people most often call us about snagging damage in a new bathroom and a tray that flexes.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

Repairing versus replacing in St Brides
When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Common problems we fix in St Brides
Most cracked trays are trays that flex: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Chips normally come from dropped bottles.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Chipped corners or rims
- A damaged area around the waste
- Damage from a refit or building work
- A cracked shower tray

Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
Repairs by material
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. 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. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
How the visit works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- 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
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Getting a price
Send us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your NP10 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Use the extractor fan
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to St Brides. The price comes down to:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What the surface is made of
- Access to the area
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed price
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Something in shot to show the size
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.

Your questions about shower tray repair in St Brides
Is a cracked tray repairable?
In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
