Why repair rather than replace?
A new shower tray often means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. A repair leaves all of that untouched, at a fraction of the cost. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best:
- Get a moving tray checked
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
- Check the seal every few months
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Different materials, different repairs
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
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 take it from there. Most visits take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, tidy-up included.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- It’s left to cure, generally until the day after.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking or access
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- What kind of damage it is
- The colour and finish to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your pictures
You can take the photos on your phone. Just make sure we can see:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One picture of the whole shower tray
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
