Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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.

The process
We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we leave the room as we found 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.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- It’s left to cure, usually until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Should you replace it?
A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it isn’t: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. A repair is one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Repairs by material
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

Southford: your questions answered
How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Southford?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your PO38 postcode.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.
How long before I can shower?
Usually the day after. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first.
Do you reseal the tray as well?
Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.
