Different materials, different repairs
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
How we handle shower tray repair in Southgate
Shower tray repairs are one of our most common jobs. Chipped edges, cracks and worn finishes can all be put right without removing the tray. We are often asked to fix damage from a refit or building work and a tray that flexes, on acrylic, cast iron and ceramic.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Southgate as everywhere else we work.

Common questions in Southgate
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Southgate included. Travel is included in the price.
What happens next?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
What does shower tray repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes. We can resurface the entire tray for a fresh finish.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best:
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Store bottles off the tray
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you can’t see.
What we’re called out for in Southgate
Rigid trays do not bend, they crack if the floor beneath them is not flat and fully supported. Timber floors that move can cause it too.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A cracked shower tray
- Scuffs and light scratches
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- Damage from a refit or building work
Before you book anyone
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Who will actually do the work
- How long it needs to cure
- What protection goes down before work starts
What affects the price in Southgate
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Doing more than one item at once
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from pictures
Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. It helps if you send:
- A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
- Details of any past repairs
- The material, if you know it
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
How the visit works
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Getting a price
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 is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Advice
When we’d advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron
- Enamelled steel
- Ceramic
- Stone resin
- Acrylic
About Southgate
Southgate is about 1 mile south-west of Crawley, in West Sussex. We travel to homes and businesses in Southgate and the surrounding area, so there is no workshop to go to. Southgate is one of 371 towns and villages in West Sussex we cover. We work right across the region, from Southgate to London (about 27 miles away).
We work across RH10 and RH11. Whether you live on Oak Road, Cook Road and Colet Road or anywhere nearby, we can come to you. You’ll find Southgate on the A2004 and A2219, so it’s easy for us to reach.

Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Repair or replace in Southgate?
A new shower tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
