Repair or replace in Dovecot?
If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is generally best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
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.
Dovecot questions
Do you redo the sealant?
We can. After a repair is a good time to reseal.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
Only if you are sure it isn’t leaking. Look for damp or stains below.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes. We can resurface the entire tray for a fresh finish without removing it.
How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Dovecot?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your L14 postcode.
How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What the surface is made of
- How easy the damage is to reach
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed price
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Something in shot to show the size
- Natural light rather than flash
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
Honest limits
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray

How it works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which usually takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is typically usable the next day.
Before we arrive
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Have a window or extractor fan available

How to look after the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Get a moving tray checked
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.
