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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

There may be a mild smell during the work.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Will it make a mess?

What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The type of damage
- What the surface is made of
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send pictures for a quote
Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. Try to include:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
How it works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we leave the room as we found it.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Make sure the area is dry
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Getting a price
You do not need a survey visit. 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 quote.
Related advice
What your shower tray is made of matters
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
Honest limits
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Leaking waste fittings
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Multiple cracks across the tray
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron
- Acrylic
- Ceramic
- Stone resin
- Enamelled steel

Do you need shower tray repair in Butcher's Common?
Heavy bottles, shower heads and dropped razors chip trays, typically on the edges or near the plughole.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- A cracked shower tray
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Who turns up on the day
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long

Can I fix it myself?
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.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
