Shower tray repair at your home in Upperthong
You do not always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can generally be repaired in place, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. We are frequently asked to fix edge chips from dropped bottles and a dull, stained or worn surface, across stone resin, ceramic and enamelled steel.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
Questions from Upperthong
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
How much does shower tray repair cost in Upperthong?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
What happens after I send pictures?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Do you come to Upperthong?
We do. We send a technician to Upperthong for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
How it works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which generally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- We ensure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- Once cured, typically by the day after, you can use the shower.
Before we arrive
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
How to get a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

What else we do in Upperthong
Landlord and trade work in Upperthong
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
What we can’t put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- Multiple cracks across the tray
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Ceramic
- Cast iron
- Enamelled steel
- Stone resin
- Acrylic
How to look after the repair
It’s all simple stuff:
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Check the seal every few months
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they cannot be knocked over.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.
