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-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.

How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Access to the area
- The material
- How many items we do on one visit
- The size and number of damaged areas
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Any details about the material
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a tray generally means taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and tiling again. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why us?
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK

Paynter's Lane End questions
Can you fix a cracked tray?
Usually, if the tray is firmly supported. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Are there extra charges for Paynter's Lane End?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Do you redo the sealant?
Yes. Add it to your quote and we will do both on one visit.
How do I book?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
How the visit works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It usually takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
- It’s left to cure, usually until the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Ensure the area is dry
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Paynter's Lane End use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.
What a repair cannot fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- Trays cracked in several places
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron
- Ceramic
- Enamelled steel
- Acrylic
- Stone resin
Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
