Shower tray repair in Acol without replacing anything
We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, or resurface the whole tray if it’s worn. The tray stays in place, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. We work on stone resin, acrylic and cast iron, and people most often call us about a dull, stained or worn surface and scratches from cleaning or grit.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material and finish
- How many areas need work
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- One picture of the entire shower tray
- The material, if you know it
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire shower tray, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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, then guarantee it for a year.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Acol questions
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Do you redo the sealant?
Yes. Add it to your quote and we’ll do both on one visit.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Use the extractor fan
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
- Get a moving tray checked
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they cannot be knocked over.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below isn’t visible.

- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.

Related advice
Repairs by material
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
Common problems we fix in Acol
Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- A tray that flexes
- Cracks running from the waste
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
