Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
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.
What your shower tray is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
When to call us in Essendon
The waste is a common starting point for cracks, because that is where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- Scuffs and light scratches
- Damage from a refit or building work
- Movement when you stand on it
Questions to ask before you book
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Whether the price covers travel
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

Essendon questions
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
What does shower tray repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.
Can you price it without visiting?
Usually, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Do you cover Essendon?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Essendon and the rest of Hertfordshire. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide. Prices don’t change with location.
What happens next?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Get a moving tray checked
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below isn’t visible.
How it works
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
- The tray is left to cure and can normally be used the following day.
Before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
