What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Doing more than one item at once
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Getting a price from photos
You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- One picture of the whole shower tray
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
About our shower tray repair in Arthingworth
In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. We match the colour and finish. We regularly repair acrylic, ceramic and stone resin, and common reasons people get in touch are cracks running from the waste and a damaged area around the waste.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Questions from Arthingworth
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
We would stop using it until it’s repaired, because water may be getting underneath.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
How long does it take to cure?
Typically the following day. We will confirm before we leave.
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you come to Arthingworth?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Arthingworth. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

- Leaking waste fittings
- A tray that moves underfoot

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Arthingworth
Dull and stained trays are typically down to cleaning: abrasive pads, strong chemicals and limescale strip the surface finish.

- Chips on the edges

- Chips or cracks by the plughole

Repair or replace: which is better?
A new shower tray usually means taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Prices start from £95. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.
What your shower tray is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
