Shower Tray Repair for Portinscale homes
Our repair technicians come to Portinscale for shower tray chip, crack and scratch repairs and resurfacing. Everything is done in place, and the work is guaranteed.
- Repairs from £95
- A crack across the base
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
What your shower tray is made of matters
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
Shower tray repair in Portinscale, done in place
Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the repair lasts. Common call-outs are for scratches from cleaning or grit and chips caused during fitting, on stone resin, cast iron and enamelled steel.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

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.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
Landlord and trade work in Portinscale
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.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

What affects the price in Portinscale
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Portinscale. The price comes down to:
- What the surface is made of
- How many areas need work
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Getting a price from pictures
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A picture taken from further back
- Any details about the material
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Natural light rather than flash
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Common questions in Portinscale
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Do you work in Portinscale?
We do. We send a technician to Portinscale for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
What happens on the day
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
- It’s left to cure, generally until the next day.
How to prepare
- Ensure the area is dry
- Let us know about parking or access
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
How to get a price
To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
