DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
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.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Bents
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- What kind of damage it is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The colour and finish to match
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book.
Getting a price from photos
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Where you are, by postcode
- Natural light rather than flash
For a price in Bents, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Bents questions
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, so Bents is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
When can I use the shower again?
We’ll give you the curing time on the day, normally the following day.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Do you redo the sealant?
We can. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

What happens on the day
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We make sure the tray does not 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 match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is generally usable the next day.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Advice
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.
