What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:
- Access to the area
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many items we do on one visit
- The type of damage
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed price
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Details of any past repairs
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Something in shot to show the size
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.
Landlord and trade work in Cropper
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
What we do, step by step
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

What your shower tray is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

When a repair isn’t the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Leaking waste fittings
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Should you replace it?
Replacing a tray normally means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. A repair leaves all of that untouched, at a fraction of the cost. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
Why us?
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Everything repaired in place
- No extra charge for your area

FAQs for Cropper
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can you fix a cracked tray?
Generally, as long as it does not flex. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
How to care for the repair
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
- Use the extractor fan
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.
