Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- The material
- How much damage there is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Doing more than one item at once
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- The material, if you know it
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
For a price in Mellis, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
How to look after the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Use the extractor fan
- Store bottles off the tray
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.
What a repair cannot fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair

Should you replace it?
The tray is typically the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so taking one out disturbs a lot. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

- A cracked shower tray

- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
