When a repair isn’t the answer
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- Trays cracked in several places
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Repair or replace: which is better?
A new shower tray frequently means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. Repairing it avoids all of that and costs far less. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. 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.

How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Access to the area
- Doing more than one item at once
- What kind of damage it is
- The material
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
What we’re called out for in Claxton
A tired-looking tray is often the result of years of cleaning: abrasive pads, strong chemicals and limescale wear the finish away.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Chips on the edges
- Cracks running from the waste
- Scratches in the surface
- Damage from a refit or building work
What your quote should include
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How your room will be protected
- When it can be used again
Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff:
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.
What happens on the day
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
- Open a window if you can
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Getting a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
