Repair or replace: which is better?
A new shower tray generally means taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Different materials, different repairs
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Questions from Potterhanworth
How long does it take to cure?
We will give you the curing time on the day.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
Frequently. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.
How much does shower tray repair cost in Potterhanworth?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.
Do you reseal the tray as well?
Yes, if you’d like us to. After a repair is a good time to reseal.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
Are there extra charges for Potterhanworth?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Do you cover Potterhanworth?
We do. Technicians travel to Potterhanworth from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
How to care for the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Store bottles off the tray
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below is not visible.
Can I fix it myself?
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, and the work is guaranteed.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- How much damage there is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Doing more than one item at once
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send pictures for a quote
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Where you are, by postcode
- The material, if you know it
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Natural light rather than flash
Most customers in Potterhanworth get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
