How we handle shower tray repair in Swineford
We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, or resurface the whole tray if it’s worn. Nothing is taken out, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. We regularly repair cast iron, acrylic and stone resin, and common reasons people contact us are movement when you stand on it and damage from a refit or building work.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in South Gloucestershire.

Why repair rather than replace?
The tray is usually the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: 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.

What else we do in Swineford
How it works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- It’s left to cure, generally until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure the area is dry
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Open a window if you can

When to call us in Swineford
Trays crack mainly because they move: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.
Common reasons people in Swineford contact us are:
- A crack across the base
- Movement when you stand on it
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- A damaged area around the waste
Questions to ask before booking
- Aftercare advice
- How long it needs to cure
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- What protection goes down before work starts
Different materials, different repairs
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
What affects the price in Swineford
Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Swineford. The price reflects:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Access to the area
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether we combine several jobs
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from photos
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A photo taken from further back
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Where you are, by postcode
To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
Normally, as long as it doesn’t flex. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.
Do you cover Swineford?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Swineford and the rest of South Gloucestershire. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do you redo the sealant?
We can. After a repair is a good time to reseal.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Swineford?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your BS30 postcode.
How to care for the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Use the extractor fan
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Store bottles off the tray
Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below isn’t visible.
