Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
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, and the work is guaranteed.
What we do, step by step
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Getting a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
Advice
What your shower tray is made of matters
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
Should you replace it?
A new shower tray generally means taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Southville
Do you redo the sealant?
We can. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.
When can I use the shower again?
You will get the exact time when we finish, generally the day after.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Are there extra charges for Southville?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
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.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you price it without visiting?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
- Ventilate the room after showers
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.
