Shower tray repair at your home in Grove Hill
You don’t always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can normally be repaired in place, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. Typical jobs include scratches in the surface and a dull, stained or worn surface, on enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Grove Hill questions
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
- Store bottles off the tray
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Replace failing sealant promptly
Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.
Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below is not visible.

Why repair rather than replace?
Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

When to call us in Grove Hill
The waste is a common starting point for cracks, where the tray is cut and the fitting is tightened.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Chips on the edges
- Scuffs and light scratches
- A tray that flexes
- A crack across the base
What to look for in a quote
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether they match the colour on site
Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
What your shower tray is made of matters
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
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
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. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Clear the area around the damage

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- Access to the area
- The material
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How much damage there is
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Grove Hill. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- A picture taken from further back
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
