How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Chalk. The price reflects:
- The colour and finish to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How much damage there is
- What the surface is made of
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Chalk. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Natural light rather than flash
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We make sure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- The repair is colour matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is generally usable the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

When to call us in Chalk
The waste is a common starting point for cracks, because that is where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.
Common reasons people in Chalk contact us are:
- A crack across the base
- Chips caused during fitting
- Damage around the waste
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
Questions to ask before you book
- What happens if they find more damage
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How the colour is matched
- What preparation is included
What a repair can’t fix
We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Trays cracked in several places
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

How to care for the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Check the seal every few months
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you cannot see.
What your shower tray is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. 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.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Chalk questions
Do you cover Chalk?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Chalk. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
In most cases. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
Not until you know the crack isn’t letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.
How long before I can shower?
Normally by the following day. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Work for landlords and builders
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
