What we cannot put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Ceramic
- Cast iron
- Acrylic
- Enamelled steel
- Stone resin
How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The size and number of damaged areas
Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
How to get a fixed price
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A photo taken from further back
- Details of any past repairs
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your RH14 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
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 it’s worth repairing early.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Landlord and trade work in Kirdford
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.
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.
Questions from Kirdford
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
How long before I can shower?
We will give you the curing time on the day.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
What happens on the day
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Rinse away soap after showering
Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.
