What your shower tray is made of matters
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.
When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Trays cracked in several places
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic
- Enamelled steel

Repair or replace: which is better?
The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair is one visit. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Manadon. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What affects the price in Manadon
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How many areas need work
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material and finish
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed price
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Details of any past repairs
- A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
What happens on the day
We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface for most jobs. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
- It’s left to cure, generally until the following day.

How to look after the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.
Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you cannot see.
