Why repair rather than replace?
Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so taking one out disturbs a lot. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why Building End clients choose us
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Colour-matched on site
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Honest advice, even when it means no job

How we handle shower tray repair in Building End
You don’t always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can usually be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. Our repair technicians work on stone resin, ceramic and enamelled steel, and the jobs we see most are chips or cracks by the plughole and a cracked shower tray.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Cambridgeshire.

What happens on the day
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
- It’s left to cure, typically until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure the area is dry
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Building End. The price reflects:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What kind of damage it is
- The colour and finish to match
- The material
Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Getting a price from photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Something in shot to show the size
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff:
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Rinse the tray after each shower
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.
