Shower tray repair in Southwaite, done in place
A cracked or chipped shower tray doesn’t always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can normally be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. We work on acrylic, cast iron and ceramic, and common reasons people get in touch are a cracked shower tray and scuffs and light scratches.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

What a repair can’t fix
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Trays cracked in several places
- Leaking waste fittings
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Materials we work on in Southwaite

Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Check the seal every few months
Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

FAQs for Southwaite
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Can you fix a cracked tray?
Typically, as long as it doesn’t flex. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
What happens after I send pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you price it without visiting?
Normally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
What does shower tray repair cost?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your CA4 postcode.
Landlord and trade work in Southwaite
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How much damage there is
- The material
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
For a price in Southwaite, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Repairs by material
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
DIY kit or professional repair?
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: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a tray generally means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. A repair leaves all of that untouched and costs far less. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
