Shower tray repair in North Prospect, done in place
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. We’re frequently asked to fix a tray that looks tired however much you clean it and chips on the edges, in acrylic, stone resin and enamelled steel.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What we do, step by step
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Getting a price
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

North Prospect questions
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Plymouth.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.

Work for landlords and builders
For anyone letting property in or around North Prospect, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
What affects the price in North Prospect
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material and finish
- Doing more than one item at once
- The colour and finish to match
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- One picture of the whole shower tray
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- What it’s made of, if you know
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.
Repair or replace in North Prospect?
If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is normally best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Repairs by material
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
