What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many items we do on one visit
- How much damage there is
- What the surface is made of
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Getting a price from pictures
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
- Details of any past repairs
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
For a price in Bowes, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Bowes questions
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.
Do you cover the whole of County Durham?
Across the UK, so Bowes is covered. Prices do not change with location.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Are there extra charges for Bowes?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Bowes.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes. We can resurface the entire tray for a fresh finish.
Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.
Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.
What your shower tray is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Signs you need shower tray repair in Bowes

DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Should you replace it?
Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Why book with us
- Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- Usually one visit, start to finish
- Colour-matched on site
- A year’s guarantee on all work

How it works
The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We ensure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- The repair is colour matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is usually usable the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
How to get a price

Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
