Shower tray repair in King's Somborne without replacing anything
Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. The colour and finish are matched. If you are dealing with a crack across the base and chips caused during fitting, we can typically put it right.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
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 then the old filler has to be removed first.
When to call us in King's Somborne
Most cracked trays are trays that flex: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Chips generally come from dropped bottles.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Damage from a refit or building work
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
Questions to ask before you book
- Aftercare advice
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Whether the colour is mixed to match

What else we do in King's Somborne
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a tray normally means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. Repairing it avoids all of that, at a fraction of the cost. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

When a repair is not the answer
We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Trays cracked in several places
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic
- Cast iron
- Enamelled steel
- Ceramic
- Stone resin
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Store bottles off the tray
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- What kind of damage it is
- The material
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
Getting a price from pictures
Phone photos are fine. Just ensure we can see:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A picture taken from further back
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
How it works
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface in most cases. The room is left tidy.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
- It’s left to cure, usually until the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
