Shower tray repairs are one of our most common jobs. Chips by the waste, cracks across the base and dull, stained surfaces are all things we fix in place. Our technicians work on enamelled steel, stone resin and acrylic, and people most often call us about chips on the edges and chips or cracks by the plughole.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What the surface is made of
  • How easy the damage is to reach

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

How to get a fixed price

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One picture of the entire shower tray

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

How to compare quotes

Work for landlords and builders

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

How it works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is usually usable the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Repairing versus replacing in Broome Street

When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Prices start from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why book with us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

See our full price list.

Looking after it afterwards

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Rinse away soap after showering

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.
