Materials and what they mean for the repair
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Work for landlords and builders
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
What happens on the day
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- The repair is colour matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
- Once cured, typically by the next day, you can use the shower.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Getting a price
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- The material
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many items we do on one visit
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
You can take the pictures on your phone. Just make sure we can see:
- A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Upload pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, with your DH9 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a tray usually means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. Repairing it avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
