What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Abergwili. The price depends on:

  • The material and finish
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How hard the colour is to match

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Where you are, by postcode

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire shower tray, we can price the job without visiting.

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 give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.

When we would advise against a repair

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Leaking waste fittings

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Surfaces we repair

  • Acrylic
  • Cast iron
  • Ceramic
  • Enamelled steel
  • Stone resin

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. It’s left to cure, normally until the day after.

How to prepare

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good.

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner

Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.

Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below is not visible.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Abergwili

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Chips typically come from dropped bottles.

Most people contact us when they notice something like this:

  • Chipped corners or rims
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • Scratches in the surface
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
