Repairing versus replacing in Star
A new shower tray usually means taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Star
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
Do you work in Star?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Star. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes. We can resurface the entire tray for a fresh finish without removing it.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
What happens next?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.
Repairs by material
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
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.
Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
When to call us in Star
Rigid trays do not bend, they crack when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Timber floors that move can cause it too.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Scuffs and light scratches
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- Chips or cracks by the plughole

Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What affects the price in Star
Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Star. The price reflects:
- What kind of damage it is
- The material and finish
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Doing more than one item at once
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed quote
Phone pictures are fine. Make sure they show:
- A photo taken from further back
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Upload pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, with your BS25 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
How to care for the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
- 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 tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.
What happens on the day
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Ensure the area is dry
