Repair or replace: which is better?
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. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Shower tray repair in Old Snydale without replacing anything
Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the crack does not come back. Common call-outs are for damage from a refit or building work and chipped corners or rims, in acrylic, enamelled steel and cast iron.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

When we would advise against a repair
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Questions from Old Snydale
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
Generally, as long as it does not flex. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.
What areas do you cover?
The entire UK, including all of Wakefield. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
What does shower tray repair cost?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes. The whole tray can be resurfaced without removing it.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below isn’t visible.

Related advice
Repairs by material
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
