Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they can’t be knocked over.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
What affects the price in Castle Eden
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- How hard the colour is to match
- What kind of damage it is
- The material
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- The material, if you know it
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
- Natural light rather than flash
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.
What happens on the day
You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It normally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is normally usable the next day.
Before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Ask for a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Common questions in Castle Eden
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Castle Eden?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
Generally, as long as it doesn’t flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.
Landlord and trade work in Castle Eden

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
What a repair can’t fix
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- A tray broken in more than one place
- A tray that moves underfoot
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Acrylic
- Stone resin
- Cast iron
- Enamelled steel
- Ceramic
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
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.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a tray usually means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. Repairing it avoids all of that, at a fraction of the cost. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Castle Eden. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
