Shower tray repair at your home in Nethercott
You do not always need a new tray. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, which is far less work than a replacement. If you are dealing with a damaged area around the waste and snagging damage in a new bathroom, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

What we do, step by step
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We ensure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- The repair is colour matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
- The tray is left to cure and can typically be used the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Have a window or extractor fan available

FAQs for Nethercott
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Do you redo the sealant?
We can. After a repair is a good time to reseal.
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
Usually, if the tray is firmly supported. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, in case water is getting through.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Nethercott
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Should you replace it?
A new shower tray frequently means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. Repairing it avoids all of that. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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 usually the cheaper route.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

What affects the price in Nethercott

- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
Do you need shower tray repair in Nethercott?
Dull and stained trays are typically down to cleaning: abrasive pads, strong chemicals and limescale strip the surface finish.

- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- A dull, stained or worn surface
- Scratches in the surface
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
