DIY repairs versus a professional job
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 does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
The process
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We ensure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
- The tray is left to cure and can usually be used the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Advice
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
When to call us in Astrop
On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On solid floors, cracks typically point to an uneven base.
Clients usually contact us about:
- Chips caused during fitting
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
- Movement when you stand on it
- A crack across the base
Questions to ask before you book
- Aftercare advice
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- What prep work is covered
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Check the seal every few months
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.
Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.
Honest limits
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- Leaking waste fittings
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material and finish
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: 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.
Getting a price from pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
