Repair or replace: which is better?
A new shower tray frequently means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. Repairing it avoids all of that, at a fraction of the cost. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the repair lasts. If you are dealing with chips or cracks by the plughole and scratches from cleaning or grit, we can usually put it right.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

What happens on the day
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
How to get a price

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 early repairs help.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Broad Meadow. The price reflects:
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many items we do on one visit
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send photos for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A picture taken from further back
- Details of any past repairs
- Where you are, by postcode
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
What we’re called out for in Broad Meadow
Trays crack mainly because they move: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Chips generally come from dropped bottles.
The things clients normally mention when they call are:
- Cracks running from the waste
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- A damaged area around the waste
- Chips caused during fitting
Questions to ask before you book
- How soon you can use it again
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
Broad Meadow questions
What happens after I send photos?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
How to look after the repair
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Check the seal every few months
Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.
Honest limits
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- Multiple cracks across the tray
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic
- Ceramic
- Cast iron
- Enamelled steel
- Stone resin
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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 tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
