What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The colour and finish to match
- The material
- How easy the damage is to reach
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Spexhall. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Any details about the material
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
How we handle shower tray repair in Spexhall
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 repair lasts. Common call-outs are for chipped corners or rims and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it, on acrylic, ceramic and cast iron.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

What else we do in Spexhall
Should you replace it?
A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it is not: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing it takes one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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 make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What your shower tray is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
What happens on the day
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- 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.
- The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
- It’s left to cure, typically until the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
How to get a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire shower tray, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Spexhall: your questions answered
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
Not until you know the crack isn’t letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
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.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
How to look after the repair
It’s all simple stuff:
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Use the extractor fan
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- Leaking waste fittings
- Multiple cracks across the tray
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair
- Ceramic
- Acrylic
- Enamelled steel
- Cast iron
- Stone resin
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully 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.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
Do you need shower tray repair in Spexhall?
Dull and stained trays are normally down to cleaning: limescale, harsh chemicals and abrasive pads wear the finish away.

- A damaged area around the waste
- Chipped corners or rims
Questions to ask before booking
- What aftercare is recommended
