About our shower tray repair in St Giles on the Heath
A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can usually be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. We’re frequently asked to fix a tray that looks tired however much you clean it and edge chips from dropped bottles, on stone resin, acrylic and ceramic.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How hard the colour is to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether we combine several jobs
Rather than charging by the hour, 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.
How to get a fixed price
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.
What we do, step by step
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- It’s left to cure, typically until the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Open a window if you can
Getting a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

What else we do in St Giles on the Heath
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff:
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Ventilate the room after showers
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.
St Giles on the Heath: your questions answered
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, because water may be getting underneath.
Are there extra charges for St Giles on the Heath?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do you reseal the tray as well?
Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.
When we’d advise against a repair
A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron
- Acrylic
- Stone resin
- Ceramic
- Enamelled steel
DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
