What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- What the surface is made of
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many areas need work
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.
How to get a fixed quote
You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

- What it’s made of, if you know
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire shower tray, we can price the job without visiting.

- 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 clean up and give you the curing time.

Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Rinse away soap after showering
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they cannot be knocked over.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Repairing versus replacing in Blitterlees
The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing it takes one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
What we are called out for in Blitterlees
Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Timber floors that move can cause it too.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- A dull, stained or worn surface
- Movement when you stand on it
- Chipped corners or rims
