  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • A damaged area around the waste

How to compare quotes

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material and finish
  • Access to the area
  • How hard the colour is to match

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • One picture of the whole shower tray
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Where you are, by postcode

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Can I fix it myself?

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.

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.

Different materials, different repairs

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

How to care for the repair

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

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