The process
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, including clearing up.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
How to get a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Shower tray repair at your home in Eldernell
Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the crack does not come back. We’re frequently asked to fix movement when you stand on it and chipped corners or rims, on enamelled steel, ceramic and acrylic.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Get a moving tray checked
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you cannot see.
What we’re called out for in Eldernell
Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Timber floors that move can cause it too.
Most people contact us after spotting one of these:
- Scuffs and light scratches
- A damaged area around the waste
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- Movement when you stand on it
What your quote should include
- If travel is included in the price
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers

Eldernell: your questions answered
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
In most cases. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes. We can resurface the whole tray for a fresh finish without removing it.
What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What kind of damage it is
- The material and finish
- Unusual colours or finishes
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A photo taken from further back
- What it’s made of, if you know
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
What a repair can’t fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it is not: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. A repair is one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
