Shower tray repair in Philleigh, done in place
Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the repair lasts. If you’re dealing with scratches from cleaning or grit and chips caused during fitting, we can help, on enamelled steel, ceramic and cast iron alike.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

What affects the price in Philleigh
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- The type of damage
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material
- How much damage there is
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Quotes from your photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- What it’s made of, if you know
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 is not prepared the repair will not last.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Why repair rather than replace?
A new shower tray generally means taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What else we do in Philleigh
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
Questions from Philleigh
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
What happens next?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Do you redo the sealant?
Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
