Should you replace it?
Replacing a tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Starbeck: your questions answered
How much does shower tray repair cost in Starbeck?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
Usually, as long as it doesn’t flex. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Can you price it without visiting?
Typically, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
What happens on the day
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We ensure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- Once cured, usually by the day after, you can use the shower.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

What else we do in Starbeck
When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- Trays cracked in several places
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron
- Acrylic
- Enamelled steel
- Stone resin
- Ceramic
Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Use the extractor fan
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
Common problems we fix in Starbeck
Dull and stained trays are normally down to cleaning: abrasive pads, strong chemicals and limescale wear the finish away.
Clients generally contact us about:
- Damage around the waste
- Scuffs and light scratches
- A cracked shower tray
- Movement when you stand on it
Questions to ask before you book
- What prep work is covered
- Who will actually do the work
- How changes to the job are handled
- What protection goes down before work starts
What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Access to the area
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking.
Send photos for a quote
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Starbeck
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Starbeck use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
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.
