Shower tray repair in Downpatrick without replacing anything
We check the tray before repairing it: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, or the crack will come back. We’ll tell you if that is the case. Our technicians work on enamelled steel, stone resin and cast iron, and people most often call us about a dull, stained or worn surface and scuffs and light scratches.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Common questions in Downpatrick
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes. The whole tray can be resurfaced without removing it.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Do you cover the whole of Down?
Across the UK, so Downpatrick is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
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.
Different materials, different repairs
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Downpatrick. The price reflects:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The type of damage
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Getting a price from photos
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- The material, if you know it
- Where you are, by postcode
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
Send us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Downpatrick, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Downpatrick
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
For anyone letting property in or around Downpatrick, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Should you replace it?
A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it isn’t: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing it takes one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Open a window if you can
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Ask for a price
Most clients in Downpatrick get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
- Store bottles off the tray
Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.
Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.
