About our shower tray repair in Racks
If the entire tray looks tired, we can resurface it, giving it a fresh, even finish without removing the screen or tiles. Our repair technicians work on acrylic, cast iron and stone resin, and common reasons people contact us are scratches in the surface and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee.

DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

- A dull, stained or worn surface
What your quote should include

- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- What protection goes down before work starts
Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What the surface is made of
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
Getting a price from photos
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
- Details of any past repairs
- Any details about the material
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Upload a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Racks, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Repair or replace in Racks?
The tray is typically the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so taking one out disturbs a lot. A repair keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why Racks clients choose us
- No extra charge for your area
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK

Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Store bottles off the tray
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Check the seal every few months
Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
What happens on the day
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Do you redo the sealant?
Yes, if you’d like us to. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
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.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
