What happens on the day

- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- The repair is colour matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
- The tray is left to cure and can normally be used the next day.

How we handle shower tray repair in The Pry
Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the crack does not come back. Typical jobs include a tray that flexes and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it, in ceramic, acrylic and cast iron.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- Access to the area
- What the surface is made of
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Unusual colours or finishes
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
Getting a price from photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Natural light rather than flash
- Details of any past repairs
- Where you are, by postcode
Most customers in The Pry get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Different materials, different repairs
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.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
The Pry questions
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, and that includes The Pry. Our prices are the same everywhere.
How long does it take to cure?
Normally by the following day. We will confirm before we leave.
Do you work in The Pry?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to The Pry. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a tray normally means removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Why book with us

- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- Colour-matched on site

Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Signs you need shower tray repair in The Pry
Most cracked trays are trays that flex: without a solid, level base underneath, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.
The things customers usually mention when they call are:
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- A cracked shower tray
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
Questions to ask before booking
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- What preparation is included
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- If travel is included in the price
For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in The Pry use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Replace failing sealant promptly
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.
