Shower tray repair in Midanbury without replacing anything
We check the tray before repairing it: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, or the crack will come back. We’ll explain what we find. Common call-outs are for a damaged area around the waste and a tray that flexes, across acrylic, cast iron and stone resin.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

What else we do in Midanbury
DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
How to look after the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.
When we would advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- A tray that moves underfoot

Midanbury: your questions answered
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK, and that includes Midanbury. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Do you work in Midanbury?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Midanbury and the rest of Southampton. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
Generally, if the tray is firmly supported. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.
How long before I can shower?
You’ll get the exact time when we finish, usually the day after.
What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- What kind of damage it is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Access to the area
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Midanbury. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Where you are, by postcode
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Natural light rather than flash
Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your SO18 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
How it works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
How to prepare
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Open a window if you can
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
