About our shower tray repair in St Sidwells
Shower tray repairs are one of our most common jobs. Chips by the waste, cracks across the base and dull, stained surfaces can all be put right without removing the tray. Typical jobs include scratches from cleaning or grit and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot, in cast iron, stone resin and ceramic.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

How to look after the repair
To keep it looking its best:
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Get a moving tray checked
- Ventilate the room after showers
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

What affects the price in St Sidwells
Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How much damage there is
- The material
- The colour and finish to match
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Something in shot to show the size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Send us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, with your EX4 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Repair or replace in St Sidwells?
Replacing a tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
What you get with us
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Every repair guaranteed for a year

Questions from St Sidwells
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
What does shower tray repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Do you cover St Sidwells?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to St Sidwells from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What your shower tray is made of matters
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
What happens on the day
Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, you can use the shower.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
