Should you replace it?
A new shower tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and tiling again. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

What else we do in Bickerstaffe
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Doing more than one item at once
Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from pictures
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The material, if you know it
- A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Get a moving tray checked
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.
Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below isn’t visible.
Questions from Bickerstaffe
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes. We can resurface the whole tray for a fresh finish.
Can you fix a cracked tray?
Usually, as long as it does not flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Are there extra charges for Bickerstaffe?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Do you redo the sealant?
Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.
Common problems we fix in Bickerstaffe
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.
Customers normally contact us about:
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
- Damage from a refit or building work
- Scratches in the surface
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How the room is protected while they work
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
What happens on the day
Expect a friendly, tidy 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 for a repair, longer for a full resurface. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find 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.
- Once cured, typically by the day after, you can use the shower.
Before we arrive
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
