Your questions about shower tray repair in Freshwater
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.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
When can I use the shower again?
Normally the following day. We will tell you the exact time when we finish.
Shower tray repair at your home in Freshwater
Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, or resurface the entire tray if it’s worn. Nothing is taken out, so the enclosure and tiles are not disturbed. If you’re dealing with damage around the waste and a dull, stained or worn surface, we can help, whatever the material.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Should you replace it?
Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. A repair keeps everything as it is. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

What happens on the day
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, tidy-up included.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let us know which floor the room is on
How to get a price
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Get a moving tray checked
- Use the extractor fan
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
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.
When to call us in Freshwater
Dull and stained trays are typically down to cleaning: abrasive pads, strong chemicals and limescale wear the finish away.
Look out for any of the following:
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- Scuffs and light scratches
- Damage around the waste
Questions to ask before you book
- How long it needs to cure
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- How to care for the finish
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What we can’t put right
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Trays cracked in several places
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we work on in Freshwater

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Freshwater. What changes the price is:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What kind of damage it is
- How hard the colour is to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Rather than charging by the hour, 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.
Send photos for a quote
Phone photos are fine. Ensure they show:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One picture of the whole shower tray
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Freshwater, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
