Shower tray repair in South Heath without replacing anything
A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can usually be repaired in place, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. Whether it’s a tray that creaks or moves underfoot and chips caused during fitting, we can typically put it right.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Trays cracked in several places

- Movement when you stand on it

What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for South Heath. The price reflects:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Doing more than one item at once
- What kind of damage it is
- What the surface is made of
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
How to get a fixed quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.
Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.
What your shower tray is made of matters
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
What we do, step by step
We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Make sure the area is dry
