Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
Shower tray repair in Shelvin without replacing anything
We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, or resurface the whole tray if it’s worn. The tray stays in place, so the enclosure and tiles aren’t disturbed. We regularly repair acrylic, cast iron and ceramic, and common reasons people get in touch are a dull, stained or worn surface and snagging damage in a new bathroom.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What happens on the day
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, 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.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
- It’s left to cure, generally until the following day.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
How to get a price
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Advice
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Store bottles off the tray
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.
Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you can’t see.

Common questions in Shelvin
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
What information do you need?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material and finish
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from photos
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The material, if you know it
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- A tray that moves underfoot
- Trays cracked in several places
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
