Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Report any creaking or movement early
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they can’t be knocked over.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you can’t see.
How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- The colour and finish to match
- How many areas need work
- What the surface is made of
- Whether we combine several jobs
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire shower tray, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.

When we’d advise against a repair
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- A tray broken in more than one place
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Stone resin
- Cast iron
- Ceramic
- Acrylic
- Enamelled steel
What your shower tray is made of matters
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Should you replace it?
A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it is not: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing it takes one visit. Prices start from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

What happens on the day
We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
- It’s left to cure, usually until the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Ask for a price
Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your CF81 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
