What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Braunstone Frith. The price depends on:
- The type of damage

How the visit works
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- The repair is colour-matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, you can use the shower.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

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.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
When to call us in Braunstone Frith
A tired-looking tray is often the result of years of cleaning: abrasive pads, strong chemicals and limescale strip the surface finish.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A damaged area around the waste
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- A dull, stained or worn surface
- Damage from a refit or building work

What your shower tray is made of matters
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.
Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
For anyone letting property in or around Braunstone Frith, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.

How to care for the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.
