Repair or replace: which is better?
Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so taking one out disturbs a lot. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: 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.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
What a repair cannot fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- Multiple cracks across the tray
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair

How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The type of damage
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.
Quotes from your pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- What it’s made of, if you know
There’s no need for us to visit first. 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.
FAQs for Common Side
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Are there extra charges for Common Side?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes. The entire tray can be resurfaced without removing it.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, because water may be getting underneath.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
When to call us in Common Side
Trays crack mainly because they move: without a solid, level base underneath, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- A tray that flexes
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- Chipped corners or rims
Questions to ask before you book
- What aftercare is recommended
- What preparation is included
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- If travel is included in the price
What we do, step by step
The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Ensure the area is dry
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know about parking or access
How to get a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
Advice
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Use the extractor fan
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.
