Shower tray repair at your home in Penkhull
We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. Nothing is taken out, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. We work on cast iron, enamelled steel and stone resin, and the jobs we see most are a dull, stained or worn surface and cracks running from the waste.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Repairing versus replacing in Penkhull
A new shower tray frequently means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. A repair leaves all of that untouched, at a fraction of the cost. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What your shower tray is made of matters
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Penkhull questions
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.
How much does shower tray repair cost in Penkhull?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your ST4 postcode.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
When can I use the shower again?
We will give you the curing time on the day, typically the next day.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
What happens next?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
How it works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. Before we leave, we explain how soon 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.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Getting a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

When we’d advise against a repair
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- Leaking waste fittings

Landlords, agents and businesses in Penkhull
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:
- What the surface is made of
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The colour and finish to match
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
