Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Questions from Padside
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Are there extra charges for Padside?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you fix a cracked tray?
In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
When can I use the shower again?
Normally by the following day. We will confirm before we leave.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Repair or replace in Padside?
When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Padside. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Acrylic
- Ceramic
- Cast iron
- Stone resin
- Enamelled steel
The process
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Advice
Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
What affects the price in Padside
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- The type of damage
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How hard the colour is to match
- How much damage there is
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- One picture of the entire shower tray
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Something in shot to show the size
- Where you are, by postcode
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Common problems we fix in Padside
Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Timber floors that move can cause it too.
Most people contact us after spotting one of these:
- A tray that flexes
- Chipped corners or rims
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
- A crack across the base
What your quote should include
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- If travel is included in the price
