Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
About our shower tray repair in The Dings
We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. The tray stays in place, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. Common call-outs are for scratches from cleaning or grit and a tray that flexes, across enamelled steel, stone resin and cast iron.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Should you replace it?
Replacing a tray generally means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. Repairing it avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Your questions about shower tray repair in The Dings
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you redo the sealant?
Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.
Can you fix a cracked tray?
In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
Do you cover the whole of Bristol?
We cover the whole UK, including The Dings and the rest of Bristol. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff:
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Check the seal every few months
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.
What we’re called out for in The Dings
A tired-looking tray is often the result of years of cleaning: abrasive pads, strong chemicals and limescale wear the finish away.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- Chips caused during fitting
- A damaged area around the waste
