The process
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface in most cases. The room is left tidy.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- The tray is left to cure and can typically be used the day after.
Before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Shower tray repair in Albany, done in place
A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can normally be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. We’re often asked to fix movement when you stand on it and a dull, stained or worn surface, on ceramic, stone resin and enamelled steel.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee.

Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Store bottles off the tray
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you can’t see.

Questions from Albany
How long does it take to cure?
Typically the following day. We’ll confirm before we leave.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Do you redo the sealant?
Yes. Add it to your quote and we’ll do both on one visit.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
Usually, as long as it doesn’t flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.
What does shower tray repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your NE37 postcode.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes. The entire tray can be resurfaced.
Can pets and children be at home?
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.
How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- The material
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Access to the area
- Unusual colours or finishes
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Albany. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
What your shower tray is made of matters
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
