Materials and what they mean for the repair
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.

Repairing versus replacing in Penhale Jakes
If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is typically best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
What you get with us
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- A fixed quote before booking

What happens on the day
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- The tray is left to cure and can typically be used the following day.
Before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Getting a price
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron
- Stone resin
- Ceramic
- Acrylic
- Enamelled steel
Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.
What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What kind of damage it is
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
How to get a fixed quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Any details about the material
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Where you are, by postcode
- One sharp close-up of the damage
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

Questions from Penhale Jakes
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
Will the price change on the day?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Do you reseal the tray as well?
Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
How long before I can shower?
We’ll give you the curing time on the day.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire shower tray and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
