Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What we’re called out for in Abridge
The waste is a common starting point for cracks, because that’s where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Chips caused during fitting
- Cracks running from the waste
- Chipped corners or rims
- Scratches in the surface
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- What protection goes down before work starts
- What preparation is included
- How changes to the job are handled
Your questions about shower tray repair in Abridge
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Do you redo the sealant?
Yes. Add it to your quote and we will do both on one visit.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Abridge. The price comes down to:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material and finish
- How hard the colour is to match
- Access to the area
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Where you are, by postcode
- A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.
What we do, step by step
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
How to prepare
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Open a window if you can
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Different materials, different repairs
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
How to look after the repair
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Get a moving tray checked
- Store bottles off the tray
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you can’t see.
