Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

How we handle shower tray repair in Sowerbutt's Green

Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the repair lasts. If you’re dealing with chips on the edges and staining and dullness across the tray, we can generally put it right, on stone resin, acrylic and ceramic alike.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

What happens on the day

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. The repair is colour matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is usually usable the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know about parking or access

Getting a price

Advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

If you’re 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 fails, we can still put it right.

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • How many areas need work
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What kind of damage it is

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Send pictures for a quote

You can take the pictures on your phone. Ensure they show:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

When we would advise against a repair

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

  • Stone resin
  • Ceramic
  • Enamelled steel

Questions from Sowerbutt's Green

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes. The entire tray can be resurfaced.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

Usually, as long as it doesn’t flex. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
