Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- Cracks running from the waste

About our shower tray repair in Portfield
We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, or resurface the entire tray if it’s worn. Nothing is taken out, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. Common call-outs are for movement when you stand on it and a cracked shower tray, on acrylic, ceramic and enamelled steel.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What your shower tray is made of matters
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
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.
How it works
We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface in most cases. We leave the room clean.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
How to prepare
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Open a window if you can

Portfield: your questions answered
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
We can. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Portfield. The price depends on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many areas need work
- The material
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed price
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Something in shot to show the size
- Natural light rather than flash
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Portfield
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Portfield as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
