Repairs by material
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 is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
How the visit works
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, 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.
- Next we clean and prepare the 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.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is generally usable the day after.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Open a window if you can

Advice
Repairing versus replacing in Lower Green
Replacing a tray typically means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. A repair leaves all of that untouched and costs far less. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

What we are called out for in Lower Green
The waste is a common starting point for cracks, because that’s where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.
Most people contact us after spotting one of these:
- Movement when you stand on it
- Chips caused during fitting
- Chips on the edges
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
What your quote should include
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- What preparation is included
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether they match the colour on site
What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- The type of damage
- What the surface is made of
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How much damage there is
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.
Send photos for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any details about the material
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
How to look after the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Get a moving tray checked
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below isn’t visible.
Questions from Lower Green
What happens next?
You will get a fixed quote back. You’re under no obligation.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
Only if you’re sure it isn’t leaking. Check the ceiling below for damp.
How much does shower tray repair cost in Lower Green?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
Often. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
How long before I can shower?
We will give you the curing time on the day.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- Leaking waste fittings
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

What else we do in Lower Green
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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 typically the cheaper route.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
