The process
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
How to prepare
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Make sure the area is dry
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Different materials, different repairs
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
What we cannot put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- A tray that moves underfoot
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Stone resin
- Ceramic
- Enamelled steel
- Acrylic
- Cast iron
Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Rinse away soap after showering
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below is not visible.

How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How much damage there is
- Access to the area
- The material and finish
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
