Replacing a tray generally means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. Repairing it avoids all of that. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Polmear: your questions answered
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
Can you fix a cracked tray?
Usually, if the tray is firmly supported. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.
How long does it take to cure?
Normally by the following day. We will confirm before we leave.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
Only if you are sure it isn’t leaking. Check the ceiling below for damp.
Signs you need shower tray repair in Polmear
Most cracked trays are trays that flex: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Chips normally come from dropped bottles.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- Scratches in the surface
- Damage from a refit or building work
Before you book anyone
- When it can be used again
- If travel is included in the price
- How your room will be protected
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
What happens on the day
You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It typically takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- It’s left to cure, normally until the next day.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Clear the area around the damage
How to get a price
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The size and number of damaged areas
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send pictures for a quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Details of any past repairs
- One picture of the whole shower tray
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Where you are, by postcode
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
When we would advise against a repair
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- A tray broken in more than one place
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron
- Stone resin
- Ceramic
- Acrylic
- Enamelled steel
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
