What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many areas need work
- How many items we do on one visit
- The colour and finish to match
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from pictures
Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One picture of the whole shower tray
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any details about the material
Getting a price is easy: 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 is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
Shower tray repair in Five Oaks, done in place
We check the tray before repairing it: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, otherwise any crack returns. We will explain what we find. Common call-outs are for edge chips from dropped bottles and a crack across the base, across cast iron, stone resin and enamelled steel.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What we do, step by step
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 a day for a full resurface, including clearing up.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Clear the area around the damage
How to get a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole shower tray, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
Related advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Signs you need shower tray repair in Five Oaks
Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend if the floor beneath them isn’t flat and fully supported. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.
The things clients usually mention when they call are:
- Movement when you stand on it
- Chips caused during fitting
- Chipped corners or rims
- A dull, stained or worn surface
Before you book anyone
- Aftercare advice
- How soon you can use it again
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether a trained technician does the job
Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below isn’t visible.
Should you replace it?
A new shower tray often means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. A repair leaves all of that untouched and costs far less. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Materials we repair
- Enamelled steel
- Ceramic
- Cast iron
- Stone resin
- Acrylic
What your shower tray is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
