About our shower tray repair in Shottlegate
Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the crack does not come back. We work on enamelled steel, ceramic and acrylic, and common reasons people contact us are snagging damage in a new bathroom and chips or cracks by the plughole.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Doing more than one item at once
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.

Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic
- Stone resin
- Enamelled steel
- Cast iron
- Ceramic
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

Advice
Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Store bottles off the tray
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Stick to gentle cleaners
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
Work for landlords and builders
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Derbyshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Why repair rather than replace?
The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. A repair is one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
What you get with us
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- We leave the room as we found it
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
