What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Access to the area
- What kind of damage it is
- How many items we do on one visit
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Any details about the material
- Something in shot to show the size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
If you’re in Podsmead and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Podsmead: your questions answered
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
Can you fix a cracked tray?
Usually, if the tray is firmly supported. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.
Do you redo the sealant?
Yes, if you’d like us to. After a repair is a good time to reseal.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole shower tray and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
How long before I can shower?
You will get the exact time when we finish.
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.
Do you work in Podsmead?
We do. Technicians travel to Podsmead from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new shower tray often means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. Repairing it avoids all of that, at a fraction of the cost. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How it works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
- It’s left to cure, generally until the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Clear the area around the damage
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Ask for a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Advice
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
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, a professional repair is worth it.
What your shower tray is made of matters
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.
