What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How hard the colour is to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Send photos for a quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A photo taken from further back
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Questions from Allington
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
Not until you know the crack isn’t letting water through. Check the ceiling below for damp.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
Frequently. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Repairing versus replacing in Allington
A new shower tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Common problems we fix in Allington
The waste is a common starting point for cracks, because that’s where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.
People usually call us when they notice one of these:
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- A cracked shower tray
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- Damage around the waste
What to look for in a quote
- When it can be used again
- Aftercare advice
- What prep work is covered
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Repairs by material
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
