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 early repairs help.

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Old Eldon. The price depends on:
- Access to the area
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any details about the material
- Details of any past repairs
- Natural light rather than flash
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
Old Eldon questions
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Do you work in Old Eldon?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Old Eldon. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
How much does shower tray repair cost in Old Eldon?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
How long does it take to cure?
You’ll get the exact time when we finish.
When we’d advise against a repair
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- A tray that moves underfoot
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
Materials we repair
- Ceramic
- Cast iron
- Stone resin
- Acrylic
- Enamelled steel
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
If you manage property in Old Eldon, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.

Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Rinse the tray after each shower
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below isn’t visible.
The process
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
