What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How many areas need work
- How hard the colour is to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- Any details about the material
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
How it works
We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray in most cases. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is generally usable the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

Other services in Ashwellthorpe
For landlords and businesses
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.
Why repair rather than replace?
Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. A repair keeps everything as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Ashwellthorpe: your questions answered
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, because water may be getting underneath.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
We can. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Can you fix a cracked tray?
In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
Honest limits
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- A tray broken in more than one place
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
