Should you replace it?
The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair is one visit. 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.

Shower tray repair in Cotham without replacing anything
In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. We match the colour and finish so the repair blends in. We regularly repair enamelled steel, ceramic and stone resin, and people most frequently call us about a cracked shower tray and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Work for landlords and builders
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Bristol and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Cotham as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The colour and finish to match
- The type of damage
- How easy the damage is to reach
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your pictures
Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- Details of any past repairs
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The material, if you know it
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff:
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Get a moving tray checked
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below isn’t visible.
