Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they can’t be knocked over.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below isn’t visible.

The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We ensure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is normally usable the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- The type of damage
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How much damage there is
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Any details about the material
- A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Why repair rather than replace?
If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is typically best. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. 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.
