Shower tray repair in Shirley without replacing anything
Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the repair lasts. Common call-outs are for scuffs and light scratches and movement when you stand on it, on cast iron, ceramic and stone resin.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

When we’d advise against a repair
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- Trays cracked in several places
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Materials we work on in Shirley

Should you replace it?
The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. A repair is one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Why us?

What we’re called out for in Shirley
The waste is a common starting point for cracks, because that is where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.
Look out for these signs:
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
- Scratches in the surface
- A dull, stained or worn surface
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
Before booking anyone
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- How the room is protected while they work
- When it can be used again
- Who will actually do the work
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.
What your shower tray is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
How it works
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is normally usable the following day.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Point us to the nearest place to park
How to get a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Related advice
For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 won’t last.
