Repairs by material
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

FAQs for Monkey Street
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Do you work in Monkey Street?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Monkey Street. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Can you fix a cracked tray?
In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
What we do, step by step
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
- It’s left to cure, generally until the day after.
Before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Getting a price
To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.
Advice
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The colour and finish to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether we combine several jobs
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any details about the material
- One picture of the entire shower tray
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Ventilate the room after showers
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.

Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Repair or replace in Monkey Street?
Replacing a tray typically means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. Repairing it avoids all of that. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
