Shower tray repair at your home in Southerton
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. Our repair technicians work on cast iron, acrylic and ceramic, and people most frequently call us about scratches in the surface and chips caused during fitting.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Use the extractor fan
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material
- How many items we do on one visit
- The colour and finish to match
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Southerton. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Something in shot to show the size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- Trays cracked in several places
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Southerton
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
Normally, if the tray is firmly supported. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
What happens next?

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

What your shower tray is made of matters
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
