What we can’t put right

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

What we work on

  • Enamelled steel
  • Ceramic
  • Stone resin
  • Cast iron
  • Acrylic

What happens on the day

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, tidy-up included.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is typically usable the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

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 it’s worth repairing early.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Ventilate the room after showers

Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below isn’t visible.

What affects the price in Southport

Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Southport. The price depends on:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Unusual colours or finishes

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Southport. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Any details about the material

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Should you replace it?

A new shower tray often means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. Repairing it avoids all of that, at a fraction of the cost. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Southport

Do you charge for travel?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Do you cover Southport?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Southport and the rest of Sefton. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

When can you do it?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

How long does it take to cure?

Normally by the following day. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes. We can resurface the entire tray for a fresh finish without removing it.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
