Shower tray repair in The Green, done in place
The first thing we do is check the tray: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, otherwise any crack returns. We’ll tell you if that’s the case. Common call-outs are for a crack across the base and scuffs and light scratches, in stone resin, acrylic and enamelled steel.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- The colour and finish to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How much damage there is
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- A picture taken from further back
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Natural light rather than flash
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Use the extractor fan
- Report any creaking or movement early
Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.
Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you cannot see.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

- The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.

Questions from The Green
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
Are there extra charges for The Green?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
How long before I can shower?
Normally by the following day. We’ll confirm before we leave.
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
