Should you replace it?
A new shower tray usually means taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Sunset?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Check the ceiling below for damp.

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
What happens after I send pictures?
We come back with a fixed price. You’re under no obligation.
What we are called out for in Sunset
On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A dull, stained or worn surface
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- A crack across the base

- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Who will actually do the work

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many items we do on one visit
- What kind of damage it is
- The size and number of damaged areas
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The material, if you know it
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One picture of the entire shower tray

Repairs by material
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

When a repair isn’t the answer
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
