Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.
How we handle shower tray repair in Southbourne
Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. The colour and finish are matched. If you’re dealing with chipped corners or rims and damage around the waste, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

What a repair cannot fix
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

FAQs for Southbourne
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Do you reseal the tray as well?
We can. After a repair is a good time to reseal.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- The material
- The type of damage
- How hard the colour is to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from photos
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A picture taken from further back
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- The material, if you know it
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
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 come back to you with a fixed figure.
How the visit works
We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. It normally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
How to prepare
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Ask for a price
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire shower tray, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

How to care for the repair
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they can’t be knocked over.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
