How we handle shower tray repair in South Street
We check the tray before repairing it: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, otherwise any crack returns. We will tell you if that’s the case. We work on ceramic, enamelled steel and acrylic, and common reasons people get in touch are damage around the waste and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

What happens on the day
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It normally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We make sure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- The repair is colour-matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
- The tray is left to cure and can typically be used the next day.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Have a window or extractor fan available

South Street questions
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do you cover South Street?
We do. We send a technician to South Street for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire shower tray and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
In most cases. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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, it’s worth having it done properly.
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 is not prepared the repair won’t last.
Different materials, different repairs
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 it’s worth repairing early.
How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material
- How easy the damage is to reach
Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from photos
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any details about the material
- A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

- A cracked shower tray
- Scuffs and light scratches
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- A dull, stained or worn surface

- Aftercare advice
How to look after the repair
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Store bottles off the tray
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Use the extractor fan
Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below isn’t visible.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
