Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.
Honest limits
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Leaking waste fittings
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We make sure the tray does not flex and look for 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.
- Once cured, usually by the next day, you can use the shower.
How to prepare
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.

What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- The colour and finish to match
- The material
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The type of damage
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your pictures
Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. It helps if you send:
- A photo taken from further back
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The material, if you know it
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Most clients in Hinton Martell get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

- Staining and dullness across the tray

- Damage around the waste
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom

Common questions in Hinton Martell
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
We would stop using it until it’s repaired, in case water is getting through.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
What does shower tray repair cost?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Usually, as long as it doesn’t flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.
