Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Landlord and trade work in Garlinge

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Get a moving tray checked
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.
Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.
How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- How much damage there is
- How many items we do on one visit
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Garlinge. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
- What it’s made of, if you know
Most clients in Garlinge get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
What a repair can’t fix
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- Trays cracked in several places
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
