What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- The material and finish
- Doing more than one item at once
- What kind of damage it is
- The colour and finish to match
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What your shower tray is made of matters
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Apsey Green
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Apsey Green use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Why repair rather than replace?
The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair is one visit. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff:
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Get a moving tray checked
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
