Shower tray repairs are one of our most common jobs. Chipped edges, cracks and worn finishes can all be put right without removing the tray. We’re frequently asked to fix snagging damage in a new bathroom and movement when you stand on it, on acrylic, cast iron and stone resin.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Check the seal every few months
- Use the extractor fan
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.
Tongue End: your questions answered
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Do you redo the sealant?
We can. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
We would stop using it until it’s repaired, because water may be getting underneath.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
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.
How it works
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Landlord and trade work in Tongue End
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Tongue End use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Repairing versus replacing in Tongue End
Replacing a tray typically means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. Repairing it avoids all of that, at a fraction of the cost. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Tongue End. The price reflects:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many areas need work
- The colour and finish to match
- Doing more than one item at once
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. Try to include:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- What it’s made of, if you know
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Common problems we fix in Tongue End
Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend if the floor beneath them isn’t flat and fully supported. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Movement when you stand on it
- Damage around the waste
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
Questions to ask before booking
- How the room is protected while they work
- What prep work is covered
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How the colour is matched
