Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Check the seal every few months
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you can’t see.
What affects the price in Santon
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Access to the area
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material and finish
- How hard the colour is to match
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your photos
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The material, if you know it
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
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 often lifts.
FAQs for Santon
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Can you fix a cracked tray?
In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you redo the sealant?
We can. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Should you replace it?
A new shower tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

When a repair is not the answer
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- A tray that moves underfoot
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Ceramic
- Acrylic
- Stone resin
- Enamelled steel
- Cast iron
What your shower tray is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
