DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
When a repair isn’t the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A tray that moves underfoot
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- A tray broken in more than one place
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- How many areas need work
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Quotes from your photos
You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- Details of any past repairs
- A picture taken from further back
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff:
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Check the seal every few months
Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.
Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you can’t see.
Repairs by material
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

What else we do in Costhorpe
Repair or replace: which is better?
The tray is normally the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. A repair keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
