Why repair rather than replace?
A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it isn’t: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair is one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Different materials, different repairs
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

What else we do in Northwood
What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The type of damage
- The material and finish
- The size and number of damaged areas
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Northwood. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A photo taken from further back
- Natural light rather than flash
- What it’s made of, if you know
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Use the extractor fan
- Check the seal every few months
- Store bottles off the tray
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.
Northwood questions
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
What happens after I send photos?
You will get a fixed quote back, generally with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Northwood included. Travel is included in the price.
How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Northwood?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your PO31 postcode.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
We would stop using it until it’s repaired, because water may be getting underneath.
Do you reseal the tray as well?
We can. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
How it works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

Common problems we fix in Northwood
Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.
Customers generally contact us about:
- A damaged area around the waste
- Damage from a refit or building work
- Scratches in the surface
- A crack across the base

What we can’t put right
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- Leaking waste fittings
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
