Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
- Rinse the tray after each shower
Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.
Shower tray repair in Shutlanger without replacing anything
We check the tray before repairing it: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, otherwise any crack returns. We’ll tell you if that is the case. We regularly repair ceramic, stone resin and cast iron, and the jobs we see most are chips caused during fitting and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- The material and finish
- Doing more than one item at once
- How many areas need work
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Quotes from your pictures
You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
For a price in Shutlanger, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

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. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Work for landlords and builders
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Honest limits
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Trays cracked in several places
- A tray that moves underfoot
