What a repair cannot fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A tray that moves underfoot
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Enamelled steel
- Acrylic
- Cast iron
- Ceramic
- Stone resin
What happens on the day
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- 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.
- It’s left to cure, typically until the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

Common questions in North Ripley
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
What does shower tray repair cost?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
We can. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Access to the area
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The size and number of damaged areas
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your photos
You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The material, if you know it
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
