What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What the surface is made of
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The type of damage
Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from photos
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- One picture of the entire shower tray
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any details about the material
Email us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your DN21 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
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.
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.
Hemswell Cliff questions
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
When can I use the shower again?
We will give you the curing time on the day, generally the next day.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, in case water is getting through.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do you redo the sealant?
We can. After a repair is a good time to reseal.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
Usually, as long as it doesn’t flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.

How the visit works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- The repair is colour matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is typically usable the following day.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Hemswell Cliff. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

For landlords and businesses
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
