How we handle shower tray repair in Bodella
You don’t always need a new tray. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. If you are dealing with damage from a refit or building work and cracks running from the waste, we can help, on ceramic, enamelled steel and cast iron alike.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

What we can’t put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A tray that moves underfoot
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Multiple cracks across the tray
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What kind of damage it is
- How much damage there is
- How hard the colour is to match
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Quotes from your photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
- Natural light rather than flash
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Where you are, by postcode
If you’re in Bodella and want a price, 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.
Repair or replace: which is better?
The tray is usually the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so taking one out disturbs a lot. A repair keeps everything as it is. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

- We leave the room as we found it
- One price list for the whole UK

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
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.
What we do, step by step
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
How to prepare
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know about parking or access

Questions from Bodella
Do you come to Bodella?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Bodella. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire shower tray and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes. We can resurface the whole tray for a fresh finish.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
How long before I can shower?
Normally by the following day. We will confirm before we leave.
Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Use the extractor fan
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Store bottles off the tray
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.
