What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- How much damage there is
- The material and finish
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
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 play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from photos
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Something in shot to show the size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire shower tray, we can price the job.
Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Isle of Wight and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Honest limits
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- Leaking waste fittings

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and re-tiling. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. 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.

The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray in most cases. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- The repair is colour matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is generally usable the next day.
How to prepare
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Clear the area around the damage
- Make sure the room can be ventilated

Yes, if you’d like us to. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
Normally, if the tray is firmly supported. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.
