Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Use the extractor fan
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.

Should you replace it?
A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it is not: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. Repairing it takes one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Why book with us
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- One visit for most repairs
See our pricing.
How the visit works
Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we leave the room as we found it.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Advice
FAQs for Margaretting
What areas do you cover?
The entire UK, including all of Essex. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do you cover Margaretting?
We do. We send a technician to Margaretting for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
When to call us in Margaretting

Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Movement when you stand on it
- Cracks running from the waste
- A damaged area around the waste
- A dull, stained or worn surface
What your quote should include
- Who turns up on the day

What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- The type of damage
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many items we do on one visit
Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
How to get a fixed price
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Any details about the material
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
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, and the work is guaranteed.
