Why repair rather than replace?
The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing it takes one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
What you get with us

How to care for the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What happens on the day
The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- 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.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Keep a parking space free if you can

When to call us in Carlton Colville
The waste is a common starting point for cracks, because that is where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.
The things customers typically mention when they call include:
- Cracks running from the waste
- Movement when you stand on it
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
What your quote should include
- What happens if they find more damage
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Who turns up on the day
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
What your shower tray is made of matters
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- What the surface is made of
- How many items we do on one visit
- How hard the colour is to match
- The type of damage
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your photos
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Where you are, by postcode
- The material, if you know it
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
