Why repair rather than replace?
A new shower tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Questions from Berners Roding
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we are working.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
Only if you’re sure it isn’t leaking. Look for damp or stains below.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
How it works
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
How to prepare
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
How to get a price
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The colour and finish to match
- The material
- Whether we combine several jobs
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Send photos for a quote
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Where you are, by postcode
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Details of any past repairs
For a price in Berners Roding, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
What we can’t put right
We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Leaking waste fittings
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
What we work on
- Cast iron
- Acrylic
- Stone resin
- Ceramic
- Enamelled steel
For landlords and businesses
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
What we’re called out for in Berners Roding
On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On solid floors, cracks normally point to an uneven base.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Chips caused during fitting
- Scratches in the surface
- Chips on the edges
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
Questions to ask before booking
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- How to look after the finish
- What preparation is included
- If travel is included in the price

What your shower tray is made of matters
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
