How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- The type of damage
- What the surface is made of
- Doing more than one item at once
- Access to the area
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Natural light rather than flash
- One picture of the entire shower tray
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

When we would advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Yes. The entire tray can be resurfaced.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
For anyone letting property in or around Chilcote, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple:
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Get a moving tray checked
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.
Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below isn’t visible.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a tray generally means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. A repair leaves all of that untouched. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Chilcote. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Different materials, different repairs
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
