Shower tray repair in Upper Green without replacing anything
Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. Nothing is taken out, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. Common call-outs are for staining and dullness across the tray and a tray that flexes, on acrylic, enamelled steel and stone resin.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

Common problems we fix in Upper Green
Rigid trays don’t bend, they crack when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.
Most people contact us when they notice something like this:
- Damage from a refit or building work
- Scuffs and light scratches
- Damage around the waste
- A tray that flexes

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.
How it works
You don’t need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It normally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

What else we do in Upper Green
Why repair rather than replace?
The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. A repair is one visit. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
Upper Green questions
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the entire UK, including Upper Green and the rest of Bradford. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
What happens if you find more damage?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Upper Green. What changes the price is:
- What the surface is made of
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How easy the damage is to reach
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: 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.
How to get a fixed quote
You can take the pictures on your phone. Just ensure we can see:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One picture of the entire shower tray
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Repairs by material
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
