How it works
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- 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 strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- The tray is left to cure and can typically be used the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Ensure the area is dry
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The type of damage
- The material
- Access to the area
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your pictures
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Any details about the material
- Natural light rather than flash
- A picture taken from further back
- Details of any past repairs
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Different materials, different repairs
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Questions from Piccotts End
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
How long before I can shower?
Normally by the following day. We’ll confirm before we leave.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Can you fix a cracked tray?
In most cases. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Rinse away soap after showering

- Use the extractor fan
- Get a moving tray checked
Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.
