St James's questions
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes. We can resurface the entire tray for a fresh finish.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
How long before I can shower?
We’ll give you the curing time on the day, normally the next day.
Do you reseal the tray as well?
We can. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.
Shower tray repair in St James's without replacing anything
A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can normally be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. We are often asked to fix scratches in the surface and snagging damage in a new bathroom, in ceramic, enamelled steel and acrylic.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- Access to the area
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send pictures for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
- The material, if you know it
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
What your shower tray is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
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.

Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Ventilate the room after showers
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

What we do, step by step
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray.
- 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.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Repair or replace: which is better?
The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair is one visit. Prices start from £95. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

When to call us in St James's
Rigid trays do not bend, they crack if the floor beneath them is not flat and fully supported. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- A cracked shower tray
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
- Scuffs and light scratches
