Shower tray repair at your home in Upper Shelton
Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, or resurface the entire tray if it’s worn. The tray stays in place, so the enclosure and tiles are not disturbed. We work on ceramic, enamelled steel and cast iron, and common reasons people get in touch are chipped corners or rims and chips caused during fitting.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Upper Shelton and across Bedford Borough.

Repairing versus replacing in Upper Shelton
A new shower tray normally means removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Upper Shelton
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.
FAQs for Upper Shelton
Do you work in Upper Shelton?
We do. We send a technician to Upper Shelton for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
How much does shower tray repair cost in Upper Shelton?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your MK43 postcode.
Do you reseal the tray as well?
Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
What areas do you cover?
All of Bedford Borough, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
Often. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
When a repair is not the answer
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- A tray broken in more than one place
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
