Shower tray repair in Ridgeway, done in place
A cracked or chipped shower tray doesn’t always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can typically be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. Our technicians work on acrylic, stone resin and cast iron, and people most frequently call us about a tray that looks tired however much you clean it and chipped corners or rims.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:
- How many areas need work
- Access to the area
- Doing more than one item at once
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A picture taken from further back
- Natural light rather than flash
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Repairs by material
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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, then guarantee it for a year.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Get a moving tray checked
- Store bottles off the tray
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Check the seal every few months
Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.
Your questions about shower tray repair in Ridgeway
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
In most cases. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
The process
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, tidy-up included.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Ask for a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Repair or replace: which is better?
The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing it takes one visit. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
