Should you replace it?
When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What we cannot put right

- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- A tray that moves underfoot

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic
- Ceramic
- Cast iron
- Enamelled steel
- Stone resin
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Signs you need shower tray repair in St Stephens
The waste is a common starting point for cracks, because that is where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Cracks running from the waste
- Chips caused during fitting
- A damaged area around the waste
- Staining and dullness across the tray

Your questions about shower tray repair in St Stephens
How long does it take to cure?
Normally by the following day. We will tell you the exact time when we finish.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
In most cases. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
Not until you know the crack isn’t letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.
Can you quote from photos?
Normally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Do you redo the sealant?
We can. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What the surface is made of
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Send photos for a quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- Details of any past repairs
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any details about the material
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 we will come back with a fixed figure.
Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Hertfordshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
How the visit works
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, including clearing up.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- The repair is colour matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
- The tray is left to cure and can normally be used the day after.
How to prepare
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
Ask for a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
