About our shower tray repair in Reay
We check the tray before repairing it: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, or the crack will come back. We will tell you if that’s the case. Our repair technicians work on acrylic, cast iron and ceramic, and common reasons people contact us are a crack across the base and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
The process
You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It typically takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
How to prepare
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Getting a price

How to care for the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Get a moving tray checked
- Check the seal every few months
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Store bottles off the tray
Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.
When to call us in Reay
Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- A cracked shower tray
- Movement when you stand on it

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Reay. The price comes down to:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Access to the area
- What kind of damage it is
- The material and finish
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
How to get a fixed price
You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The material, if you know it
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
What a repair cannot fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Trays cracked in several places
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair

Questions from Reay
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
What happens after I send photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
How long does it take to cure?
Normally by the following day. We will confirm before we leave.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
Repair or replace in Reay?
The tray is usually the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
