About our shower tray repair in Iford
In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. We match the colour and finish so the repair blends in. We regularly repair acrylic, ceramic and enamelled steel, and common reasons people get in touch are chipped corners or rims and movement when you stand on it.
In a village like Iford, showers are frequently later additions to older homes, so we check how the tray is supported before repairing.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
Repair or replace in Iford?
Replacing a tray generally means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. Repairing it avoids all of that and costs far less. Replacement in Iford means trades, travel and waste removal, while a repair is a single visit.
Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

What we cannot put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder

Different materials, different repairs
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
When to call us in Iford
Most cracked trays are trays that flex: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Chips typically come from dropped bottles.
Common reasons people in Iford contact us are:
- A damaged area around the waste
- A dull, stained or worn surface
- Chips caused during fitting
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
We also work for schools, leisure centres and businesses, so if you look after a building such as Iford and Kingston Church of England Primary School, changing-room showers can be repaired in place too.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Replace failing sealant promptly
Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you cannot see.
How it works
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use. For a rural address like Iford, we plan the journey in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring everything needed for the shower tray repair, so there is no second trip.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
