What happens on the day
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Ask for a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

How to look after the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Get a moving tray checked
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Check the seal every few months
Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you cannot see.

Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
Why repair rather than replace?
Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. A repair keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Why book with us
- No extra charge for your area
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- Most jobs done in one visit

Your questions about shower tray repair in Cross Hands
What does shower tray repair cost?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
How long before I can shower?
Usually the following day. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
What happens if you find more damage?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
What we are called out for in Cross Hands
Most chips come from things dropped in the shower, generally along the edges or by the waste.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:
- A crack across the base
- Chips caused during fitting
- Chips on the edges
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
Before you book anyone
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- What protection goes down before work starts
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Who turns up on the day
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What affects the price in Cross Hands
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Cross Hands. The price reflects:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How hard the colour is to match
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Cross Hands. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Details of any past repairs
- One picture of the whole shower tray
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.
When a repair is not the answer
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
