How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The size and number of damaged areas
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
- Natural light rather than flash
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Get a moving tray checked
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
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.
When to call us in Tile Hurst
Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.
Common reasons people in Tile Hurst contact us are:
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- Cracks running from the waste
- A tray that flexes
- Chips caused during fitting
What to look for in a quote
- How long it needs to cure
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
Why repair rather than replace?
A new shower tray frequently means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. Repairing it avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Tile Hurst. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Advice
What your shower tray is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
FAQs for Tile Hurst
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
How much does shower tray repair cost in Tile Hurst?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
