How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Roby Mill. The price depends on:
- The type of damage
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How much damage there is
- Access to the area
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your photos
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Details of any past repairs
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a tray normally means taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
What you get with us
- Normally one visit, start to finish
- One price list for the entire UK
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- A year’s guarantee on all work

When we would advise against a repair
It helps to know what we cannot do:

What we do, step by step
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- It’s left to cure, generally until the next day.
How to prepare
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.
Advice
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

What your shower tray is made of matters
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best:
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Store bottles off the tray
- Rinse away soap after showering
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below is not visible.
