Should I try a DIY kit first?
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, then guarantee it for a year.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Common questions in Portesham
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
How long before I can shower?
You’ll get the exact time when we finish, usually the next day.
Do you redo the sealant?
Yes, if you’d like us to. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
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.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Portesham. What changes the price is:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material
- The colour and finish to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Portesham. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- One picture of the whole shower tray
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Use the extractor fan
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they can’t be knocked over.
Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.

What else we do in Portesham
Repairing versus replacing in Portesham

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

- Fixed prices from your photos
- Same prices wherever you are
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited

- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- It’s left to cure, typically until the next day.
How to prepare

When to call us in Portesham
Most cracked trays are trays that flex: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- A tray that flexes
- Chips on the edges
- Damage from a refit or building work
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
What your quote should include
- How the colour is matched
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- What prep work is covered
- What protection goes down before work starts
