About our shower tray repair in Tilstock

We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, or resurface the entire tray if it’s worn. The tray stays in place, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. We work on acrylic, stone resin and ceramic, and common reasons people contact us are a tray that flexes and edge chips from dropped bottles.

You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Why repair rather than replace?

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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Tilstock questions

Can you fix a cracked tray?

Generally, as long as it doesn’t flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Do you reseal the tray as well?

Yes, if you’d like us to. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

When can you do it?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

What happens on the day

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
  5. It’s left to cure, normally until the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let us know about parking or access

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your pictures

You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Details of any past repairs
  • The material, if you know it
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
