What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
- It’s left to cure, typically until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Related advice
What a repair cannot fix
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Enamelled steel
- Ceramic
- Cast iron
- Acrylic
- Stone resin
Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Get a moving tray checked
- Use the extractor fan
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
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.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Repairing versus replacing in Hampstead Garden Suburb
Replacing a tray usually means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. A repair leaves all of that untouched. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many areas need work
- Access to the area
- Whether we combine several jobs
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Send photos for a quote
Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any details about the material
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
