About our shower tray repair in Dafen
Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. The colour and finish are matched. We are often asked to fix damage from a refit or building work and scuffs and light scratches, across acrylic, enamelled steel and stone resin.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it.

Should you replace it?
A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it is not: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair is one visit. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Store bottles off the tray
- Get a moving tray checked
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they can’t be knocked over.
Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
Landlord and trade work in Dafen
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Dafen as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
When a repair isn’t the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Leaking waste fittings
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

What affects the price in Dafen
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

- How many areas need work
- Access to the area
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- The material, if you know it
- A picture taken from further back
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Details of any past repairs
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
The process
We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We ensure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
- The tray is left to cure and can usually be used the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

FAQs for Dafen
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
What does shower tray repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Do you reseal the tray as well?
Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.
