DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.
Repair or replace: which is better?
The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair is one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Dore. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

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
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many areas need work
- What the surface is made of
Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Getting a price from pictures
Phone pictures are fine. Just make sure we can see:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole shower tray, we can price the job.
Repairs by material
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.
