Should you replace it?
A new shower tray frequently means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. Repairing it avoids all of that and costs far less. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
- Chips on the edges
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- A crack across the base

What affects the price in Breach
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:
- The type of damage
- The material
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How hard the colour is to match
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send pictures for a quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Email us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Breach, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
How to care for the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Get a moving tray checked
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Store bottles off the tray
- Stick to gentle cleaners
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.
What else we do in Breach
DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
How the visit works
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, including clearing up.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is typically usable the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Ask for a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
Advice
Breach questions
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
When we would advise against a repair
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- A tray that moves underfoot
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Stone resin
