Different materials, different repairs
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
How it works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- The tray is left to cure and can typically be used the day after.
How to prepare
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

What else we do in Backford Cross
How to care for the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Backford Cross
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What the surface is made of
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The size and number of damaged areas
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Backford Cross. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Natural light rather than flash
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
