How it works
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
How to prepare
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Make sure the area is dry

Should you replace it?
The tray is generally the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so taking one out disturbs a lot. A repair keeps everything as it is. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Do you need shower tray repair in Dodford?
Trays crack mainly because they move: without a solid, level base underneath, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.
Look out for any of the following:
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- Chipped corners or rims
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- Damage from a refit or building work

Can I fix it myself?
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 generally cheaper.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Dodford. The price depends on:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The type of damage
- Whether we combine several jobs
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking.
Quotes from your photos
Phone photos are fine. Just make sure we can see:
- Where you are, by postcode
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any details about the material
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
- Use the extractor fan
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below isn’t visible.
What a repair can’t fix
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- Multiple cracks across the tray
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
