Different materials, different repairs
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
Shower tray repair in Freemantle without replacing anything
A worn or stained tray can be resurfaced, for a clean, uniform finish without removing the screen or tiles. Our repair technicians work on enamelled steel, acrylic and ceramic, and the jobs we see most are a damaged area around the waste and a tray that flexes.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Freemantle as everywhere else we work.

Common questions in Freemantle
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
What areas do you cover?
The whole UK, including all of Southampton. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, because water may be getting underneath.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
What happens next?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
What affects the price in Freemantle
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What the surface is made of
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How much damage there is
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Freemantle. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Most customers in Freemantle get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
How it works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
- The tray is left to cure and can usually be used the next day.
How to prepare
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know which floor the room is on
How to get a price
Email us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Freemantle, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Signs you need shower tray repair in Freemantle
Heavy bottles, shower heads and dropped razors chip trays, typically on the edges or near the plughole.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Freemantle
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Southampton and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.
Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.
