Repairing versus replacing in The Grove
Replacing a tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and tiling again. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Store bottles off the tray
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Replace failing sealant promptly
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.
For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
What affects the price in The Grove
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including The Grove. What changes the price is:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material and finish
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether we combine several jobs
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Quotes from your pictures
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
What happens on the day
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Questions from The Grove
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.
Do you come to The Grove?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to The Grove for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Are there extra charges for The Grove?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do you redo the sealant?
Yes, if you’d like us to. After a repair is a good time to reseal.
How long before I can shower?
Generally the following day. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Different materials, different repairs
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
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. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
