DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
What your shower tray is made of matters
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

When we’d advise against a repair
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Leaking waste fittings
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Cast iron
- Ceramic
- Stone resin
- Enamelled steel
- Acrylic
Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.
Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below isn’t visible.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new shower tray typically means removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and re-tiling. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What happens on the day
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We make sure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- The damaged area, or the whole 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, generally by the day after, you can use the shower.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the area is dry
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Clear the area around the damage

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire shower tray, we can price the job without visiting.

What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- How much damage there is
- The material
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many items we do on one visit
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send pictures for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A picture taken from further back
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your TR20 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Questions from Praa Sands
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK. Prices don’t change with location.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
What information do you need?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
