The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
How to prepare
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Getting a price
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The colour and finish to match
- The material
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Getting a price from pictures
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Any details about the material
- A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
Most customers in Oak Tree get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a tray typically means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. A repair leaves all of that untouched, at a fraction of the cost. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: 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.

Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.
