Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.

Repairing versus replacing in Petrockstowe
If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is normally best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s 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 photos.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Petrockstowe: your questions answered
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
When can I use the shower again?
Normally by the following day. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We come back with a fixed quote. You are under no obligation.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Do you redo the sealant?
We can. After a repair is a good time to reseal.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first.
What affects the price in Petrockstowe
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How hard the colour is to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A picture taken from further back
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- The material, if you know it
To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.
