Repairs by material
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.

Why repair rather than replace?
The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. A repair is one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What the surface is made of
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many items we do on one visit
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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any details about the material
- Details of any past repairs
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
The process
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
- It’s left to cure, usually until the next day.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the area is dry
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Have a window or extractor fan available

When to call us in Tanfield Lea
Trays crack mainly because they move: without a solid, level base underneath, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Chips normally come from dropped bottles.
The things clients usually mention when they call are:
- Damage from a refit or building work
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- A cracked shower tray
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
What to look for in a quote
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How the room is protected while they work
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
Questions from Tanfield Lea
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
What does shower tray repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes. We can resurface the entire tray for a fresh finish.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
When can I use the shower again?
We’ll give you the curing time on the day.
