Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- What the surface is made of
- How many areas need work
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Details of any past repairs
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Where you are, by postcode
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 over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- A tray that moves underfoot
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Stone resin
- Cast iron
- Ceramic
- Enamelled steel
- Acrylic

Repair or replace: which is better?
A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it isn’t: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair is one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
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 usually the cheaper route.
How the visit works
We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
How to prepare
- Ensure the area is dry
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Ask for a price
For a price in Ruloe, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Store bottles off the tray
Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
What your shower tray is made of matters
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
