How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Access to the area
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from pictures
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- One picture of the entire shower tray
- The material, if you know it
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.
How the visit works
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, you can use the shower.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Landlord and trade work in Hetton le Hill
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Store bottles off the tray
- Replace failing sealant promptly
Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
Common problems we fix in Hetton le Hill
Cracks frequently start at the waste, where the tray is cut and the fitting is tightened.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Damage around the waste
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- Chips caused during fitting
- A tray that flexes
What your quote should include
- How your room will be protected
- Who will actually do the work
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
Honest limits
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- A tray that moves underfoot
