Shower tray repair in Shirley without replacing anything
Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. The colour and finish are matched so the repair blends in. We work on enamelled steel, cast iron and ceramic, and the jobs we see most are snagging damage in a new bathroom and cracks running from the waste.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

How the visit works
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface.
- We ensure the tray does not flex and look for 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.
- The tray is left to cure and can generally be used the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
How to get a price
There’s 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 will reply with a fixed quote.
Advice
Do you need shower tray repair in Shirley?
Dull and stained trays are usually down to cleaning: limescale, harsh chemicals and abrasive pads wear the finish away.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A tray that flexes
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- A crack across the base
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
Comparing quotes
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Who will actually do the work
What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Shirley. The price comes down to:
- How much damage there is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The type of damage
- How hard the colour is to match
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Quotes from your pictures
Phone photos are fine. Just make sure we can see:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Honest limits
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- Trays cracked in several places
- A tray that moves underfoot
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we work on in Shirley
- Ceramic
- Acrylic
- Enamelled steel
- Stone resin
- Cast iron
Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Store bottles off the tray
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below is not visible.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a tray usually means removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
