- Repairs from £95

How the visit works
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Have a window or extractor fan available
How to get a price
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Shower tray repair at your home in Downton
Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. We match the colour and finish so the repair blends in. Our repair technicians work on ceramic, enamelled steel and cast iron, and common reasons people get in touch are damage around the waste and scuffs and light scratches.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Should you replace it?
The tray is normally the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. A repair keeps everything as it is. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, 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.
What you get with us
- One price list for the entire UK
- Colour-matched on site
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- No need to remove anything

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair

When to call us in Downton
The waste is a common starting point for cracks, because that is where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

- Staining and dullness across the tray
- Chips or cracks by the plughole

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Check the seal every few months
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do you cover Downton?
We do. We send a technician to Downton for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
What does shower tray repair cost?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- How much damage there is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear photos are typically enough. Try to include:
- Details of any past repairs
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The material, if you know it
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
