Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Shower tray repair in Southside, done in place
We repair a lot of shower trays. Chips by the waste, cracks across the base and dull, stained surfaces are all things we fix in place. Our repair technicians work on ceramic, acrylic and stone resin, and people most often call us about a dull, stained or worn surface and chips on the edges.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

Repairing versus replacing in Southside
Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. A repair keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Common problems we fix in Southside
Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend if the floor beneath them is not flat and fully supported. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.
Most people contact us after spotting one of these:
- A tray that flexes
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- Damage around the waste
- Chips caused during fitting
What to look for in a quote
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Aftercare advice
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
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.
What happens on the day
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, including clearing up.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
- The tray is left to cure and can usually be used the next day.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Southside: your questions answered
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
In most cases. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
Not until you know the crack isn’t letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The type of damage
- The colour and finish to match
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed price
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
