- Repairs from £95

How it works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It typically takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- Once cured, usually by the following day, you can use the shower.
How to prepare
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Pickford. The price reflects:
- Access to the area
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Unusual colours or finishes
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send pictures for a quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One picture of the whole shower tray
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.

Honest limits

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Cast iron
- Ceramic
- Stone resin
- Acrylic
- Enamelled steel
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
