How the visit works
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We make sure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- The repair is colour matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is typically usable the following day.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
- Ensure the area is dry
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Getting a price
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’ll get a fixed figure back.

How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material and finish
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many areas need work
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The material, if you know it
- One picture of the whole shower tray
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
What we are called out for in Darcy Lever
Most cracked trays are trays that flex: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.
Look out for any of the following:
- Chips on the edges
- Scratches in the surface
- A crack across the base
- A tray that flexes
What your quote should include
- What preparation is included
- What happens if they find more damage
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Aftercare advice
Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
- Store bottles off the tray
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.
Different materials, different repairs
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

For landlords and businesses
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Honest limits
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Trays cracked in several places
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron
- Stone resin
- Ceramic
- Acrylic
- Enamelled steel
DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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.
