Should you replace it?
Replacing a tray typically means removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Use the extractor fan
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Replace failing sealant promptly
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.
When a repair is not the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- What kind of damage it is
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Doing more than one item at once
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
How to get a fixed price
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Natural light rather than flash
- Where you are, by postcode
Send us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your HR3 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
How the visit works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- The repair is colour matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
- Once cured, typically by the next day, you can use the shower.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Ask for a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
