Shower tray repair in Shorwell, done in place
You do not always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can usually be repaired in place, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. Typical jobs include chips caused during fitting and edge chips from dropped bottles, on enamelled steel, stone resin and ceramic.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so taking one out disturbs a lot. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Shorwell. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

The process
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, including clearing up.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure the area is dry
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

When we would advise against a repair
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- Leaking waste fittings
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic
- Ceramic
- Stone resin
- Enamelled steel
- Cast iron
Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Use the extractor fan
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Shorwell
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
