Shower tray repair & resurfacing in Colwell, Isle of Wight

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How we handle shower tray repair in Colwell
You don’t always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can typically be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. If you’re dealing with movement when you stand on it and chips or cracks by the plughole, we can generally put it right, on enamelled steel, ceramic and cast iron alike.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

- Chips caused during fitting

- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot

- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Use the extractor fan
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Doing more than one item at once
- What the surface is made of
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Quotes from your photos

- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Any details about the material
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
FAQs for Colwell
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
What happens next?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
How much does shower tray repair cost in Colwell?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your PO40 postcode.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first.
Repairs by material
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. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.
What we can’t put right
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
Materials we work on in Colwell
- Ceramic
- Cast iron

- Enamelled steel

Can I fix it myself?
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.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
