DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

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 the work begins. It normally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- The repair is colour matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
- The tray is left to cure and can normally be used the following day.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Have a window or extractor fan available

We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

Common questions in Aldenham
Can you fix a cracked tray?
Generally, as long as it does not flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
How much does shower tray repair cost in Aldenham?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, in case water is getting through.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
Yes, if you’d like us to. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.
What happens next?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Get a moving tray checked
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Aldenham. The price depends on:
- Access to the area
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material and finish
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send pictures for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One picture of the entire shower tray
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
Should you replace it?
A new shower tray often means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. Repairing it avoids all of that, at a fraction of the cost. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
