How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- What kind of damage it is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The colour and finish to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
Quotes from your pictures
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Store bottles off the tray
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below isn’t visible.
What we do, step by step
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, including clearing up.
- 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.
- The repair is colour matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
- The tray is left to cure and can typically be used the next day.
How to prepare
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Ensure the room can be ventilated

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Chadwell St Mary
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
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.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
