Why repair rather than replace?
Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so taking one out disturbs a lot. A repair keeps everything as it is. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
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, and the work is guaranteed.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
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.

Sanderstead: your questions answered
What happens after I send pictures?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
How much does shower tray repair cost in Sanderstead?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.
How long does it take to cure?
Normally by the following day. We will confirm before we leave.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
Only if you’re sure it isn’t leaking. Look for damp or stains below.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
What information do you need?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Common problems we fix in Sanderstead
Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.
Look out for these signs:
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- A damaged area around the waste
- A cracked shower tray
- Chips caused during fitting
Before you book anyone
- How changes to the job are handled
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- How the colour is matched
- Who turns up on the day
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.
When we would advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Acrylic
- Enamelled steel
- Ceramic
- Stone resin
- Cast iron
How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What the surface is made of
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 price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- One picture of the whole shower tray
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
How it works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- 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.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Have a window or extractor fan available
How to get a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
