Should you replace it?
Replacing a tray normally means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. Repairing it avoids all of that, at a fraction of the cost. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How we handle shower tray repair in Porter's End
The first thing we do is check the tray: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, or the crack will come back. We’ll explain what we find. If you are dealing with scuffs and light scratches and movement when you stand on it, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What your shower tray is made of matters
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.
Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Check the seal every few months
- Get a moving tray checked
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Use the extractor fan
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Porter's End
Do you redo the sealant?
Yes, if you’d like us to. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can you fix a cracked tray?
In most cases. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, in case water is getting through.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Will the price change on the day?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material and finish
- Access to the area
- How hard the colour is to match
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. It helps if you send:
- One picture of the entire shower tray
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
