Repair or replace in Bill Quay?
The tray is usually the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so taking one out disturbs a lot. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
Before we arrive
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
How to get a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Use the extractor fan
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Report any creaking or movement early
Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.

Questions from Bill Quay
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
Are there extra charges for Bill Quay?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, in case water is getting through.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
