Materials and what they mean for the repair
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.
Shower tray repair at your home in Summerseat
Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. The colour and finish are matched so the repair blends in. Our technicians work on enamelled steel, acrylic and stone resin, and people most often call us about staining and dullness across the tray and scratches from cleaning or grit.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It typically takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep a parking space free if you can

Related advice
Summerseat: your questions answered
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes. The entire tray can be resurfaced without removing it.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.
How to care for the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Store bottles off the tray
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Get a moving tray checked
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.

When to call us in Summerseat
On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On solid floors, cracks usually point to an uneven base.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
- Damage from a refit or building work
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- A tray that flexes
What your quote should include
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Who will actually do the work
Honest limits
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- A tray broken in more than one place
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic
- Stone resin
- Enamelled steel
- Ceramic
- Cast iron
Should you replace it?
A new shower tray often means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. Repairing it avoids all of that and costs far less. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
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, then guarantee it for a year.
How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- How many areas need work
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Unusual colours or finishes
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The material, if you know it
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Something in shot to show the size
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
