How to care for the repair
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Store bottles off the tray
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- The material
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What kind of damage it is
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually 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.

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

- We leave the room as we found it
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited

- Straight answers about what a repair can do
Take a look at our prices page.
DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
What your shower tray is made of matters
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.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Marshwood: your questions answered
Is a cracked tray repairable?
In most cases. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote.
How long does it take to cure?
Normally by the following day. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.
Do you cover Marshwood?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Marshwood. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
How it works
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
How to prepare
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Have a window or extractor fan available
