River questions
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
We would stop using it until it’s repaired, in case water is getting through.
What areas do you cover?
All of West Sussex, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
How long before I can shower?
We will give you the curing time on the day, generally the next day.
What happens if you find more damage?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

Repair or replace: which is better?
The tray is generally 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. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

What else we do in River
The process
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- The repair is colour-matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
- The tray is left to cure and can typically be used the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Point us to the nearest place to park

What we cannot put right
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Enamelled steel
- Stone resin
- Ceramic
- Acrylic
- Cast iron
What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- The material and finish
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The colour and finish to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. Try to include:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One picture of the entire shower tray
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
How to care for the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Store bottles off the tray
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Report any creaking or movement early
Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you cannot see.
Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
