What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Butetown. The price depends on:
- The material
- How much damage there is
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many items we do on one visit
Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- What it’s made of, if you know

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

What else we do in Butetown
What happens on the day
We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- The repair is colour matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is usually usable the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know which floor the room is on

- Movement when you stand on it

What your shower tray is made of matters
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best:
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you can’t see.
FAQs for Butetown
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
We would stop using it until it’s repaired, because water may be getting underneath.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Are there extra charges for Butetown?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
What a repair cannot fix
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- A tray broken in more than one place
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
