Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

- Staining and dullness across the tray
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot

DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- The colour and finish to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Access to the area
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- One picture of the entire shower tray
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
What happens on the day
You don’t need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It usually takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a tray generally means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. A repair leaves all of that untouched. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Chipperfield questions
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes. We can resurface the whole tray for a fresh finish.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

How to care for the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Use the extractor fan
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you can’t see.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- A tray that moves underfoot
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
