Shower tray repair at your home in Green Lane
A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can normally be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. We are often asked to fix chips on the edges and a tray that flexes, on acrylic, cast iron and stone resin.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

How to care for the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below is not visible.
When to call us in Green Lane
Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend if the floor beneath them is not flat and fully supported. Timber floors that move can cause it too.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- A dull, stained or worn surface
- Chipped corners or rims
- Scuffs and light scratches
Questions to ask before you book
- How long it needs to cure
- How changes to the job are handled
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- Doing more than one item at once
- What the surface is made of
- Access to the area
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send photos for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- Any details about the material
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- One picture of the whole shower tray
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

What a repair cannot fix
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.

Advice
Green Lane: your questions answered
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you reseal the tray as well?
Yes. Add it to your quote and we’ll do both on one visit.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
What does shower tray repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
What your shower tray is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
