DIY repairs versus a professional job
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, then guarantee it for a year.
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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 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.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

Questions from Halmer End
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Halmer End?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Do you redo the sealant?
Yes. Add it to your quote and we’ll do both on one visit.
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
When can I use the shower again?
Normally by the following day. We will confirm before we leave.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
What we are called out for in Halmer End
Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend if the floor beneath them isn’t flat and fully supported. Timber floors that move can cause it too.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- A dull, stained or worn surface
- A cracked shower tray
- Chips on the edges
- Scratches in the surface
Questions to ask before you book
- What aftercare is recommended
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether the price covers travel
How to care for the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Store bottles off the tray
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Get a moving tray checked
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
Honest limits
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- A tray broken in more than one place
