Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Report any creaking or movement early
Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
Should you replace it?
The tray is usually the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so taking one out disturbs a lot. A repair keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

When we would advise against a repair
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- Trays cracked in several places
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Stone resin
- Acrylic
- Cast iron
- Enamelled steel
- Ceramic
What affects the price in Astrope
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- What kind of damage it is
- Doing more than one item at once
- How hard the colour is to match
- Access to the area
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. Try to include:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
If you’re in Astrope and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Common questions in Astrope
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes. We can resurface the whole tray for a fresh finish.
How long does it take to cure?
We’ll give you the curing time on the day, usually the next day.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Astrope?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
The process
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which typically takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- We make sure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
- 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 following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Ask for a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire shower tray, we can give you a fixed quote.

- Damage around the waste
- A cracked shower tray
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- Chipped corners or rims
