How to look after the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Check the seal every few months
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
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. Expect it to take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- 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.
- It’s left to cure, typically until the following day.
How to prepare
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Have a window or extractor fan available

How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Colaton Raleigh. What changes the price is:
- Access to the area
- The material
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What kind of damage it is
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Getting a price from photos
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The material, if you know it
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Where you are, by postcode
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Trays cracked in several places
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

What else we do in Colaton Raleigh
Different materials, different repairs
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new shower tray typically means taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Common questions in Colaton Raleigh
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Normally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
