Shower tray repair in Southwell, done in place
We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, or resurface the whole tray if it’s worn. The tray stays in place, so the enclosure and tiles aren’t disturbed. Our technicians work on ceramic, stone resin and cast iron, and people most often call us about a damaged area around the waste and chipped corners or rims.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Repair or replace: which is better?
A new shower tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Use the extractor fan
- Store bottles off the tray
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
When we would advise against a repair
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

FAQs for Southwell
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
Not until you know the crack isn’t letting water through. Check the ceiling below for damp.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
How much does shower tray repair cost in Southwell?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your NG25 postcode.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Southwell and the rest of Nottinghamshire. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
The process
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How hard the colour is to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed price
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- The material, if you know it
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Natural light rather than flash
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire shower tray, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.
