How we handle shower tray repair in Upton-by-Chester
You don’t always need a new tray. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, which is far less work than a replacement. We are often asked to fix edge chips from dropped bottles and movement when you stand on it, in stone resin, ceramic and acrylic.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Upton-by-Chester: your questions answered
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
Yes, if you’d like us to. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
What does shower tray repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
When we’d advise against a repair
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- A tray that moves underfoot
- Multiple cracks across the tray

Materials we work on in Upton-by-Chester
- Acrylic
- Enamelled steel
- Ceramic
- Stone resin

Why repair rather than replace?
A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it isn’t: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair is one visit. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: 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.

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.
Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
