Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. We match the colour and finish. We’re often asked to fix chips caused during fitting and cracks running from the waste, in acrylic, ceramic and cast iron.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a tray normally means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. A repair leaves all of that untouched and costs far less. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why book with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Work done at your home or business

Read our full price list.

How to care for the repair

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Check the seal every few months
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Get a moving tray checked

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.

Boughton Malherbe questions

Are there extra charges for Boughton Malherbe?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes. The whole tray can be resurfaced without removing it.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

How long does it take to cure?

You’ll get the exact time when we finish.

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

How it works

We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can generally be used the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Send pictures for a quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Details of any past repairs
  • One picture of the entire shower tray
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, 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.
