Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
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 usually cheaper.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Portfield
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
What affects the price in Portfield
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How much damage there is
- How many items we do on one visit
- Access to the area
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your pictures
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Something in shot to show the size
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

How to look after the repair
Aftercare is simple:
- Use the extractor fan
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.
Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.

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.
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.
