What your shower tray is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

Questions from Charles
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed price. You are under no obligation.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire shower tray and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Do you work in Charles?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Charles. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Are there extra charges for Charles?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The colour and finish to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Getting a price from photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Details of any past repairs
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote.
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

What we do, step by step
Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.
- We ensure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- The tray is left to cure and can typically be used the following day.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Ensure the area is dry
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Advice
How to care for the repair
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Use the extractor fan
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.
Should you replace it?
If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is typically best. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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.
