Should you replace it?
A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it isn’t: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. A repair is one visit. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Check the seal every few months
- Store bottles off the tray
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.
How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- How many areas need work
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What kind of damage it is
- Access to the area
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Abraham Heights. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One picture of the whole shower tray
- Any details about the material
Most clients in Abraham Heights get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
