How we handle shower tray repair in Branstone
We repair a lot of shower trays. Chips by the waste, cracks across the base and dull, stained surfaces can all be put right without removing the tray. We work on acrylic, enamelled steel and cast iron, and the jobs we see most are damage around the waste and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Different materials, different repairs
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
When a repair is not the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Trays cracked in several places
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so taking one out disturbs a lot. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Get a moving tray checked
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.
Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below isn’t visible.
Questions from Branstone
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We come back with a fixed price, typically with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes. We can resurface the entire tray for a fresh finish.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
When can I use the shower again?
Typically the day after. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
