What your shower tray is made of matters
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material
- What kind of damage it is
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

Repair or replace in Dragley Beck?

DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

When we would advise against a repair
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- A tray that moves underfoot
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on

- Stone resin
- Cast iron

Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Stick to gentle cleaners
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below isn’t visible.
Signs you need shower tray repair in Dragley Beck
Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.

How it works
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
- It’s left to cure, typically until the next day.
