How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Access to the area
- The size and number of damaged areas
Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed price
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Any details about the material
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
For a price in Footdee, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
How we handle shower tray repair in Footdee
Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the crack doesn’t come back. If you are dealing with scratches from cleaning or grit and chips or cracks by the plughole, we can help, on cast iron, stone resin and enamelled steel alike.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Footdee
Is a cracked tray repairable?
Frequently. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
Do you redo the sealant?
Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
Only if you’re sure it isn’t leaking. Look for damp or stains below.
How long does it take to cure?
We will give you the curing time on the day, generally the next day.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Are there extra charges for Footdee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
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
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Check the seal every few months
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.
What happens on the day
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Advice
When to call us in Footdee
Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend if the floor beneath them isn’t flat and fully supported. Timber floors that move can cause it too.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- Damage from a refit or building work

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a tray typically means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. Repairing it avoids all of that and costs far less. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Footdee. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
