Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Shower tray repair at your home in The Rigg
Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the repair lasts. Whether it’s chipped corners or rims and staining and dullness across the tray, we can normally put it right, on acrylic, cast iron and stone resin alike.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The size and number of damaged areas
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send pictures for a quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Details of any past repairs
- One picture of the whole shower tray
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

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.

Advice
Repairs by material
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.
