About our shower tray repair in Unthank
In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. The colour and finish are matched so the repair blends in. Common call-outs are for chips on the edges and movement when you stand on it, in enamelled steel, stone resin and acrylic.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff:
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Use the extractor fan
- Report any creaking or movement early
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.
How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The size and number of damaged areas
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A photo taken from further back
- Something in shot to show the size
- Where you are, by postcode
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Chips caused during fitting
- A crack across the base
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- Chipped corners or rims
What your quote should include
- Who will actually do the work
- If travel is included in the price
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How your room will be protected
The process
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray in most cases. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- 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
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Make sure the area is dry
Getting a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. 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.

Should you replace it?
A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it isn’t: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. A repair is one visit. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Unthank. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Unthank questions
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
Typically, as long as it does not flex. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
