What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The type of damage
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How easy the damage is to reach
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Caversham Heights. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The material, if you know it
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Shower tray repair at your home in Caversham Heights
A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can normally be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. Whether it’s damage around the waste and scratches from cleaning or grit, we can generally put it right.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
When to call us in Caversham Heights
Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On solid floors, cracks generally point to an uneven base.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Chipped corners or rims
- A damaged area around the waste
- Scuffs and light scratches
- A dull, stained or worn surface

Caversham Heights: your questions answered
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
What do you need from me?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
What happens after I send photos?
We come back with a fixed quote. There’s no obligation to book.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

Should you replace it?
The tray is usually the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: 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.

How to look after the repair
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.
