Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Get a moving tray checked
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.
What your shower tray is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Doing more than one item at once
- What the surface is made of
- Access to the area
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from photos
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Natural light rather than flash
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
Should you replace it?
When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Prices start from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, 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.
What you get with us
- We leave the room as we found it
- One visit for most repairs
- No extra charge for your area
- Straight answers about what a repair can do

Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

How the visit works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- 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 usually usable the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
