How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Inkerman. The price reflects:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The colour and finish to match
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A picture taken from further back
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Repair or replace: which is better?
The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. A repair is one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Questions from Inkerman
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
Yes. Add it to your quote and we will do both on one visit.
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
How it works
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, depending on what we find, 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.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- The repair is colour matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
- The tray is left to cure and can typically be used the day after.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
How to get a price
Upload photos of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Inkerman, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

For landlords and businesses
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
How to care for the repair
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Store bottles off the tray
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below isn’t visible.
Do you need shower tray repair in Inkerman?
Most cracked trays are trays that flex: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Chips typically come from dropped bottles.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- Scuffs and light scratches
- A damaged area around the waste
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How long it needs to cure
- What protection goes down before work starts
