Repair or replace: which is better?
If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is normally 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. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
What we do, step by step
We work cleanly and quietly, 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 the curing time and the aftercare.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- The repair is colour-matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
- The tray is left to cure and can usually be used the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Related advice
For landlords and businesses
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Blackbird Leys use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
When we would advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Enamelled steel
- Ceramic
- Stone resin
- Acrylic
- Cast iron
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Blackbird Leys. The price reflects:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The colour and finish to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The type of damage
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- The material, if you know it
- A picture taken from further back
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Blackbird Leys, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
