What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The size and number of damaged areas
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
How to get a fixed price
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Gillingham, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
How we handle shower tray repair in Gillingham
Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. The tray stays in place, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. Our technicians work on stone resin, cast iron and enamelled steel, and people most frequently call us about scratches in the surface and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What happens on the day
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- It’s left to cure, normally until the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

What your shower tray is made of matters
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
Common problems we fix in Gillingham
Dull and stained trays are normally down to cleaning: limescale, harsh chemicals and abrasive pads wear the finish away.
Common reasons people in Gillingham contact us include:
- Scratches in the surface
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
- Chips on the edges
What to look for in a quote
- How the room is protected while they work
- Who will actually do the work
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
Why repair rather than replace?
A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it isn’t: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing it takes one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
What you get with us
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- We leave the room as we found it
- Most jobs done in one visit

Questions from Gillingham
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Do you redo the sealant?
Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
What does shower tray repair cost?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
What happens after I send pictures?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
