Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Check the seal every few months
- Store bottles off the tray
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you cannot see.

What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The type of damage

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Repair or replace in Childerley Gate?
A new shower tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Prices start 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.
