How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- How many areas need work
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The type of damage
- How hard the colour is to match
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send pictures for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Any details about the material
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Do you need shower tray repair in Carlton?
Trays crack mainly because they move: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Chips normally come from dropped bottles.
Look out for any of the following:
- Movement when you stand on it
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
- Scuffs and light scratches
- Chips caused during fitting
What your quote should include
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers

Your questions about shower tray repair in Carlton
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
We can. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.
Do you come to Carlton?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Carlton and the rest of Bedford Borough. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes. We can resurface the entire tray for a fresh finish.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
When can I use the shower again?
You will get the exact time when we finish, typically the next day.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. 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.

What your shower tray is made of matters
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
How it works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which generally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- We make sure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- Once cured, generally by the day after, you can use the shower.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Store bottles off the tray
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
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.
