Shower tray repair at your home in Windmill Hill
A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can normally be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. If you’re dealing with scratches in the surface and a tray that flexes, we can help, on acrylic, enamelled steel and ceramic alike.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Get a moving tray checked
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.

- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How much damage there is
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Questions from Windmill Hill
Do you cover the entire of Bristol?
The entire UK, including all of Bristol. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
Only if you are sure it isn’t leaking. Look for damp or stains below.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Do you redo the sealant?
Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Windmill Hill?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Why repair rather than replace?
When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

When to call us in Windmill Hill
Most cracked trays are trays that flex: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- A cracked shower tray
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- Scratches in the surface
- Staining and dullness across the tray
What to look for in a quote
- When it can be used again
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- How to look after the finish
- Whether they match the colour on site
What happens on the day
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What we can’t put right
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Enamelled steel
- Cast iron
- Ceramic
- Acrylic
- Stone resin
