You don’t always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can generally be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. If you’re dealing with edge chips from dropped bottles and a cracked shower tray, we can help, on acrylic, ceramic and cast iron alike.

Advice
Repairing versus replacing in Kirkby
The tray is typically the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Kirkby. The price comes down to:
- Access to the area
- What the surface is made of
- How many areas need work
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.
What your shower tray is made of matters
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
