DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Shower tray repair in Unthank, done in place
You don’t always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can typically be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. We work on ceramic, acrylic and stone resin, and the jobs we see most are chips on the edges and a cracked shower tray.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Unthank. What changes the price is:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many areas need work
- Doing more than one item at once
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Quotes from your photos
You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Something in shot to show the size
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Where you are, by postcode
- A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
If you are in Unthank and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
When we’d advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Unthank questions
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Unthank. Prices do not change with location.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
How much does shower tray repair cost in Unthank?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot 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.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

What happens on the day
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 any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Clear the area around the damage
How to get a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
