Do you need shower tray repair in Downside?
Most cracked trays are trays that flex: without a solid, level base underneath, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Chips usually come from dropped bottles.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- A crack across the base
- A damaged area around the waste
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Downside. The price reflects:
- How much damage there is
- The material and finish
- The colour and finish to match
- Access to the area
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One picture of the whole shower tray
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Work for landlords and builders
For anyone letting property in or around Downside, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
How to care for the repair
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.
Your questions about shower tray repair in Downside
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
Do you redo the sealant?
Yes, if you’d like us to. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.
How long before I can shower?
Normally the next day. We will confirm before we leave.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
What does shower tray repair cost?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your BS48 postcode.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
What else we do in Downside
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.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Repairing versus replacing in Downside
The tray is usually the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so taking one out disturbs a lot. A repair keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What your shower tray is made of matters
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
