You don’t always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can normally be repaired in place, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. We regularly repair ceramic, cast iron and enamelled steel, and the jobs we see most are a tray that creaks or moves underfoot and snagging damage in a new bathroom.

When a repair is not the answer
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Leaking waste fittings
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- Multiple cracks across the tray
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Cast iron
- Ceramic
- Acrylic
- Enamelled steel
- Stone resin
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Access to the area
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
You can take the photos on your phone. Ensure they show:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Where you are, by postcode

DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
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 normally the cheaper route.
