Materials and what they mean for the repair
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
What we’re called out for in Pains-Hill
Rigid trays do not bend, they crack when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Timber floors that move can cause it too.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Scratches in the surface
- Damage from a refit or building work
- A dull, stained or worn surface
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot

What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- How many areas need work
- What the surface is made of
- The type of damage
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed price
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Something in shot to show the size
- Natural light rather than flash
- What it’s made of, if you know
Upload photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your RH8 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Pains-Hill: your questions answered
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes. We can resurface the whole tray for a fresh finish without removing it.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Can tenants book a repair?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Repair or replace in Pains-Hill?
A new shower tray frequently means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. Repairing it avoids all of that, at a fraction of the cost. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Pains-Hill
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is usually usable the next day.
How to prepare
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on

DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
