Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, 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.

How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- How many items we do on one visit
- What the surface is made of
- Access to the area
- How many areas need work
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send pictures for a quote
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- One picture of the whole shower tray
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Where you are, by postcode
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
How to care for the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.
How the visit works
We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- 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 entire tray gets a new finish.
- Once cured, typically by the next day, you can use the shower.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Advice
FAQs for Johnstone
Will the price change on the day?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, because water may be getting underneath.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
Typically, as long as it doesn’t flex. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Different materials, different repairs
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
