DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

How to look after the repair
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Store bottles off the tray
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below isn’t visible.

When to call us in Friston
On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On solid floors, cracks typically point to an uneven base.
Most people contact us after spotting something like this:
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- Movement when you stand on it
- A dull, stained or worn surface
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
What your quote should include
- How to look after the finish
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It typically takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
- It’s left to cure, usually until the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Related advice
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Repair or replace: which is better?
When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- How much damage there is
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Unusual colours or finishes
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from photos
You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Any details about the material
- Natural light rather than flash
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
