Arpinge: your questions answered
Is a cracked tray repairable?
In most cases. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
What does shower tray repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
How it works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Advice
What affects the price in Arpinge
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- The material

Upload pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, with your CT18 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. 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.
How to look after the repair
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Use the extractor fan
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.
