What happens on the day
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- The repair is colour-matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
- The tray is left to cure and can usually be used the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Getting a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

About our shower tray repair in Southwell
Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the crack doesn’t come back. We are frequently asked to fix a crack across the base and scratches in the surface, in cast iron, stone resin and enamelled steel.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

How to care for the repair
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Store bottles off the tray
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.
Southwell: your questions answered
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed price, normally with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Southwell.

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Signs you need shower tray repair in Southwell
Most cracked trays are trays that flex: without a solid, level base underneath, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Chips usually come from dropped bottles.
People typically call us after spotting something like this:
- Chips on the edges
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- A dull, stained or worn surface
- Chips caused during fitting
Before you book anyone
- How the room is protected while they work
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- If travel is included in the price
- When it can be used again
For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

What else we do in Southwell
What your shower tray is made of matters
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Access to the area
- The colour and finish to match
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Getting a price from pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A picture taken from further back
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Most clients in Southwell get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
