How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How hard the colour is to match
- The type of damage
- Access to the area
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your photos
Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- One picture of the whole shower tray
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Shower tray repair in Trent without replacing anything
You don’t always need a new tray. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, which is far less work than a replacement. Whether it’s a tray that creaks or moves underfoot and scuffs and light scratches, we can usually put it right, on enamelled steel, ceramic and acrylic alike.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

Do you need shower tray repair in Trent?
The waste is a common starting point for cracks, because that’s where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.

- Cracks running from the waste
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- A tray that flexes
- Damage from a refit or building work

Repair or replace in Trent?
The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. Repairing it takes one visit. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What happens on the day
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, tidy-up included.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- The repair is colour matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is normally usable the following day.
How to prepare
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Advice
Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best:
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you cannot see.

Work for landlords and builders

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
