What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your pictures
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Any details about the material
- Something in shot to show the size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- One picture of the entire shower tray
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
How we handle shower tray repair in Shillford
We repair a lot of shower trays. Chips by the waste, cracks across the base and dull, stained surfaces can all be put right without removing the tray. Common call-outs are for a damaged area around the waste and a dull, stained or worn surface, on acrylic, cast iron and enamelled steel.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Get a moving tray checked
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you can’t see.
Shillford questions
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
How much does shower tray repair cost in Shillford?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Do you cover Shillford?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Shillford from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
Typically, as long as it doesn’t flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
Yes. Add it to your quote and we will do both on one visit.
What a repair cannot fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- A tray that moves underfoot
- Trays cracked in several places
- Leaking waste fittings
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair

Repairs by material
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Signs you need shower tray repair in Shillford
The waste is a common starting point for cracks, because that’s where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Cracks running from the waste
- Damage from a refit or building work
- Movement when you stand on it
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
What your quote should include
- How to care for the finish
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
How it works
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, including clearing up.
- 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.
- It’s left to cure, typically until the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know which floor the room is on
How to get a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
Related advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
