How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material
- Access to the area

Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from photos
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A picture taken from further back
- Details of any past repairs
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
For a price in Temple Ewell, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
What happens on the day
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
Before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Ask for a price

Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Repairs by material
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
- Check the seal every few months
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.

Repairing versus replacing in Temple Ewell
Replacing a tray typically means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. Repairing it avoids all of that, at a fraction of the cost. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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.
