How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Gilley Law. What changes the price is:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How much damage there is
- The material and finish
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Getting a price from photos
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Details of any past repairs
- A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
Shower tray repair in Gilley Law, done in place
Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, or resurface the whole tray if it’s worn. The tray stays in place, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. We work on enamelled steel, acrylic and cast iron, and the jobs we see most are scratches in the surface and movement when you stand on it.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Common problems we fix in Gilley Law
Dull and stained trays are usually down to cleaning: abrasive pads, strong chemicals and limescale strip the surface finish.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A tray that flexes
- Damage from a refit or building work
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
What to look for in a quote
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
What a repair can’t fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- A tray broken in more than one place
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Common questions in Gilley Law
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
What happens after I send pictures?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Gilley Law.
