About our shower tray repair in Springfield
We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, or resurface the entire tray if it’s worn. The tray stays in place, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. We regularly repair acrylic, cast iron and ceramic, and common reasons people get in touch are chipped corners or rims and a damaged area around the waste.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee.

Should you replace it?
A new shower tray frequently means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. A repair leaves all of that untouched. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff:
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
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.
When we would advise against a repair
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- Trays cracked in several places
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

What affects the price in Springfield
Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Springfield. The price depends on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The type of damage
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A photo taken from further back
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Details of any past repairs
If you’re in Springfield and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Different materials, different repairs
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Questions from Springfield
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
How long before I can shower?
Typically the next day. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
What happens on the day
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
