Should you replace it?
The tray is normally the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. A repair keeps everything as it is. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- The colour and finish to match
- What kind of damage it is
- The material
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Every job is a little different, 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.
How to get a fixed quote
You can take the pictures on your phone. Just ensure we can see:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The material, if you know it
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Where you are, by postcode
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
How it works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the area is dry
- Open a window if you can
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff:
- Use the extractor fan
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
- Store bottles off the tray
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you come to Halliwell?

Different materials, different repairs
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.
