You do not always need a new tray. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. We are frequently asked to fix damage around the waste and movement when you stand on it, on enamelled steel, cast iron and stone resin.

What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Upper Basildon. The price depends on:
- The material and finish
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Doing more than one item at once
- What kind of damage it is
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A picture taken from further back
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
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 will come back to you with a fixed figure.
How to care for the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.

What happens on the day

- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- 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
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Getting a price

FAQs for Upper Basildon
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
Not until you know the crack isn’t letting water through. Check the ceiling below for damp.
How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Upper Basildon?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your RG8 postcode.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes. We can resurface the whole tray for a fresh finish without removing it.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We come back with a fixed price, typically with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.

Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
