Materials and what they mean for the repair
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

Common questions in Meal Bank
Can you price it without visiting?
Normally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
How long before I can shower?
We will give you the curing time on the day.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
What happens after I send photos?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many items we do on one visit
- What kind of damage it is
- The colour and finish to match
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send pictures for a quote
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Most clients in Meal Bank get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Advice
Should you replace it?
When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Our shower tray repair starts 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 pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
What you get with us
- Most jobs done in one visit
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
Read our prices page.
Work for landlords and builders
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
When a repair is not the answer
A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Leaking waste fittings
- Trays cracked in several places
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Ceramic
- Stone resin
- Acrylic
- Cast iron
- Enamelled steel
How to care for the repair
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Get a moving tray checked
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.
