Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. The colour and finish are matched so the repair blends in. Common call-outs are for movement when you stand on it and staining and dullness across the tray, across cast iron, enamelled steel and acrylic.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What does shower tray repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Is there any odour?

Usually the following day. We’ll confirm before we leave.

Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Farringdon. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Store bottles off the tray
- Check the seal every few months
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.
Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you cannot see.
The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
