Materials and what they mean for the repair
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.
The process
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
How to get a price
We price from photos so you don’t 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 will come back with a fixed figure.

Why repair rather than replace?
A new shower tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

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.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Tiptree: your questions answered
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.
How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Tiptree?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
In most cases. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.
Are there extra charges for Tiptree?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Do you come to Tiptree?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Tiptree. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Send pictures for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- One picture of the whole shower tray
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
What a repair can’t fix
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Leaking waste fittings
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Acrylic
- Cast iron
