How it works
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Ask for a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Advice
Questions from Goldenacre
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes. We can resurface the whole tray for a fresh finish without removing it.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Are there extra charges for Goldenacre?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Goldenacre?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
Do you cover Goldenacre?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Goldenacre. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Goldenacre use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.
What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- What kind of damage it is
- The material and finish
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether we combine several jobs
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One picture of the whole shower tray
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Something in shot to show the size
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Different materials, different repairs
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Store bottles off the tray
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
- Replace failing sealant promptly
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

- Scuffs and light scratches
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- A cracked shower tray
