Repairing versus replacing in Farley Hill
A new shower tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and re-tiling. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Farley Hill. The price depends on:
- What kind of damage it is
- How much damage there is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How hard the colour is to match
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Getting a price from pictures
You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A picture taken from further back
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Repairs by material
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

- We check the tray for movement first.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

What we cannot put right

- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Farley Hill
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.
If you manage property in Farley Hill, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.
How to look after the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Get a moving tray checked
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
