How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- The material
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What kind of damage it is
- How hard the colour is to match
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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
- The material, if you know it
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Shower tray repair at your home in Hamstall Ridware
We check the tray before repairing it: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, or the crack will come back. We will tell you if that is the case. We regularly repair ceramic, cast iron and enamelled steel, and common reasons people contact us are chips caused during fitting and a crack across the base.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
Work for landlords and builders
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Repairs by material
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.
Repairing versus replacing in Hamstall Ridware
Replacing a tray typically means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. Repairing it avoids all of that and costs far less. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

What we do, step by step
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, tidy-up included.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is generally usable the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
How to get a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
