How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many items we do on one visit
- What the surface is made of
- How many areas need work
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send pictures for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- What it’s made of, if you know
You don’t 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 will reply with a fixed quote.
Shower tray repair in Roughway, done in place
Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the crack does not come back. Typical jobs include a damaged area around the waste and chips caused during fitting, across stone resin, acrylic and enamelled steel.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

How the visit works
When we visit, 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 a day for a full resurface. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We ensure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, you can use the shower.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Getting a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Common questions in Roughway
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
We would stop using it until it’s repaired, in case water is getting through.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do you cover Roughway?
We do. We send a technician to Roughway for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
What happens next?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK. Prices don’t change with location.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it is not: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing it takes one visit. Prices start from £95. 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 play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Roughway
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- No extra charge for your area

Work for landlords and builders
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.
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Use the extractor fan
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Get a moving tray checked
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below is not visible.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
