Common questions in Caring
When can I use the shower again?
Typically the next day. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
Yes, if you’d like us to. After a repair is a good time to reseal.
What does shower tray repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can you fix a cracked tray?
Normally, if the tray is firmly supported. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- The material and finish
- How many items we do on one visit
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed price
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
What happens on the day
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We ensure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- The repair is colour-matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
- Once cured, usually by the next day, you can use the shower.
How to prepare
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff:
- Use the extractor fan
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you can’t see.
For landlords and businesses
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What your shower tray is made of matters
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
When we’d advise against a repair
A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
