Shower tray repair in Taunton, done in place
Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. The colour and finish are matched so the repair blends in. Whether it’s edge chips from dropped bottles and a cracked shower tray, we can help.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Common questions in Taunton
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
How much does shower tray repair cost in Taunton?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Do you cover Taunton?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Taunton for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
In most cases. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
What areas do you cover?
All of Somerset, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Repairs by material
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
What happens on the day
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Advice
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below is not visible.
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Repairing versus replacing in Taunton
A new shower tray frequently means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. A repair leaves all of that untouched. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What affects the price in Taunton
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Doing more than one item at once
- How hard the colour is to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- The material, if you know it
- A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
- Natural light rather than flash
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
