Shower tray repair & resurfacing in Wells, Somerset
Damaged shower tray in Wells? We repair it in place, mix the colour on the day and guarantee the work for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- Chipped corners or rims
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple:
- Use the extractor fan
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Store bottles off the tray
- Get a moving tray checked
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.
Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.
Shower tray repair in Wells without replacing anything
You don’t always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can normally be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. Whether it’s chips caused during fitting and scratches from cleaning or grit, we can help, on acrylic, cast iron and ceramic alike.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Why repair rather than replace?
A new shower tray frequently means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. Repairing it avoids all of that, at a fraction of the cost. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
What we do, step by step
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
- It’s left to cure, typically until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the area is dry
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Ask for a price
Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Wells, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Wells questions
Can you fix a cracked tray?
In most cases. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.
How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Wells?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole shower tray and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
What we are called out for in Wells
Most chips come from things dropped in the shower, normally along the edges or by the waste.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
- Cracks running from the waste
- A tray that flexes
- A dull, stained or worn surface
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How long it needs to cure
- What preparation is included
- How to look after the finish
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- How hard the colour is to match
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many items we do on one visit
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Wells. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Natural light rather than flash
- The material, if you know it
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
For a price in Wells, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
What your shower tray is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
