Questions from Apperknowle
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
What happens after I send photos?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
Not until you know the crack isn’t letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.
How long before I can shower?
Normally by the following day. We will tell you the exact time when we finish.

Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Honest limits
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Multiple cracks across the tray
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Ceramic
- Stone resin
- Cast iron
- Acrylic
- Enamelled steel
Repairs by material
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.
The process
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Getting a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
Related advice
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.
How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material and finish
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Apperknowle. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One picture of the entire shower tray
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
