What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many items we do on one visit
- How much damage there is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access 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:
- A photo taken from further back
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Something in shot to show the size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Common problems we fix in Draethen
Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On solid floors, cracks typically point to an uneven base.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- A damaged area around the waste
- Scratches in the surface
- Chipped corners or rims
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
Before you book anyone
- What preparation is included
- How your room will be protected
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Aftercare advice
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you can’t see.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a tray usually means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. A repair leaves all of that untouched. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Why Draethen customers choose us
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Usually one visit, start to finish
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
