Shower tray repair at your home in Brighstone
Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. The colour and finish are matched so the repair blends in. We work on enamelled steel, ceramic and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are snagging damage in a new bathroom and damage around the waste.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Brighstone
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Common problems we fix in Brighstone
Trays crack mainly because they move: without a solid, level base underneath, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.
Common reasons people in Brighstone contact us are:
- Scuffs and light scratches
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- A cracked shower tray
- Chipped corners or rims
What to look for in a quote
- How the room is protected while they work
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How to look after the finish

DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
When we’d advise against a repair
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Leaking waste fittings
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Cast iron
- Acrylic
- Ceramic
- Stone resin
- Enamelled steel
What your shower tray is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.
Brighstone questions
What does shower tray repair cost?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your PO30 postcode.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Do you work in Brighstone?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Brighstone and the rest of Isle of Wight. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What happens if you find more damage?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
What happens on the day
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

How to look after the repair
To keep it looking its best:
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Store bottles off the tray
- Get a moving tray checked
- Rinse away soap after showering
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below is not visible.
Repair or replace: which is better?
The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. A repair is one visit. 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.
