Why repair rather than replace?
A new shower tray usually means taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. 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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
When we’d advise against a repair
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Leaking waste fittings
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder

Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic
- Enamelled steel
- Cast iron
- Stone resin
- Ceramic
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Rinse the tray after each shower
Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.
Common questions in New Kingston
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
What happens next?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
How much does shower tray repair cost in New Kingston?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
For landlords and businesses
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
What your shower tray is made of matters
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- What kind of damage it is
- The material
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Access to the area
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
Quotes from your photos
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A photo taken from further back
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
A quote takes minutes to ask for: 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.
How it works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which typically takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
- It’s left to cure, generally until the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Make sure the area is dry
How to get a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
