How we handle shower tray repair in Swilland
Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, or resurface the whole tray if it’s worn. The tray stays in place, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. We regularly repair ceramic, stone resin and cast iron, and the jobs we see most are a tray that looks tired however much you clean it and cracks running from the waste.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

When a repair is not the answer
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Trays cracked in several places
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Repairs by material
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

Repair or replace: which is better?
When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

The process
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface.
- We make sure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
- The tray is left to cure and can usually be used the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Store bottles off the tray
Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you can’t see.
What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many areas need work
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Access to the area
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your photos
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Details of any past repairs
- Something in shot to show the size
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
