- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.

What your shower tray is made of matters
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

- A tray that flexes
- Scuffs and light scratches
- Chipped corners or rims
- Chips caused during fitting

How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- How many items we do on one visit
- What kind of damage it is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What the surface is made of
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
How to get a fixed price
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any details about the material
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
Ilston questions
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
Can you fix a cracked tray?
In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Ilston?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.
Do you work in Ilston?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Ilston. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Store bottles off the tray
- Check the seal every few months
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they cannot be knocked over.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
When we’d advise against a repair
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Multiple cracks across the tray
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Enamelled steel
- Cast iron
