What we can’t put right
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- A tray that moves underfoot
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we work on in Prizet
- Acrylic
- Enamelled steel
- Ceramic
- Stone resin
- Cast iron
Materials and what they mean for the repair
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
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

How the visit works
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is usually usable the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Prizet. The price depends on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How much damage there is
- The colour and finish to match
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Prizet. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A picture taken from further back
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- What it’s made of, if you know
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Work for landlords and builders
If you manage property in Prizet, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.
What we are called out for in Prizet
Most cracked trays are trays that flex: without a solid, level base underneath, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Chips usually come from dropped bottles.
People typically call us after spotting something like this:
- Scratches in the surface
- A crack across the base
- Damage around the waste
- A tray that flexes
Before you book anyone
- What protection goes down before work starts
- How soon you can use it again
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How to look after the finish
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they cannot be knocked over.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
Prizet questions
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
Only if you’re sure it is not leaking. Look for damp or stains below.
What happens after I send pictures?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you work in Prizet?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Prizet from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
