What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:

- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The type of damage
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Kelstedge. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.
How the visit works
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Ask for a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

FAQs for Kelstedge
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
Only if you’re sure it is not leaking. Look for damp or stains below.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
When a repair isn’t the answer
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Trays cracked in several places
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

Repair or replace: which is better?
If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is usually best. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
