How we handle shower tray repair in Shawfair
In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. We match the colour and finish. We are often asked to fix cracks running from the waste and a damaged area around the waste, in ceramic, acrylic and cast iron.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Shawfair. The price reflects:
- How much damage there is
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The colour and finish to match
- The material and finish
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed price
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
If you’re in Shawfair and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
What happens on the day
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
How to prepare
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Getting a price

Your questions about shower tray repair in Shawfair
What happens after I send photos?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we are working.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
Typically, if the tray is firmly supported. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.

Repairs by material
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Rinse away soap after showering
Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.

What a repair cannot fix
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- A tray that moves underfoot
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Ceramic
- Acrylic
- Enamelled steel
- Stone resin
- Cast iron
Why repair rather than replace?
If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is usually best. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price 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 quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
Why book with us
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Straight answers about what a repair can do

- We leave the room as we found it

DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. 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.
