Shower tray repair in West Down without replacing anything
If the whole tray looks tired, we can resurface it, for a clean, uniform finish without removing the screen or tiles. We regularly repair ceramic, enamelled steel and stone resin, and common reasons people get in touch are chips on the edges and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Repairs by material
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
When a repair is not the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Multiple cracks across the tray

What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- How much damage there is
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many items we do on one visit
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed price
You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
For a price in West Down, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they cannot be knocked over.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
West Down: your questions answered
Is a cracked tray repairable?
Typically, if the tray is firmly supported. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
Are there extra charges for West Down?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new shower tray generally means removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Prices start from £95. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

The process
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is normally usable the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Clear the area around the damage
Ask for a price
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
