How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One picture of the whole shower tray
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
How we handle shower tray repair in Stow Maries
A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, which is far less work than a replacement. If you are dealing with scuffs and light scratches and edge chips from dropped bottles, we can generally put it right, on cast iron, enamelled steel and acrylic alike.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
How to care for the repair
To keep it looking its best:
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Use the extractor fan
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
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.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Stow Maries
Do you cover Stow Maries?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Stow Maries and the rest of Essex. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
How long before I can shower?
You will get the exact time when we finish, normally the day after.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes. We can resurface the whole tray for a fresh finish without removing it.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
What happens next?
You will get a fixed quote back, typically with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Honest limits
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Multiple cracks across the tray
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What happens on the day
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- 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.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is typically usable the following day.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
