The process
We turn 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. The work itself takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We make sure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- The repair is colour matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
- The tray is left to cure and can typically be used the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let us know about parking or access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Questions from Acomb
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
What does shower tray repair cost?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
We would stop using it until it’s repaired, because water may be getting underneath.
How long does it take to cure?
You’ll get the exact time when we finish, typically the day after.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a tray typically means removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

What else we do in Acomb
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

How to care for the repair
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Store bottles off the tray
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.
