What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- The type of damage
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Details of any past repairs
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Use the extractor fan
- Check the seal every few months
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
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. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.
Common problems we fix in Upper End
A tired-looking tray is often the result of years of cleaning: abrasive pads, strong chemicals and limescale strip the surface finish.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
- A tray that flexes
Comparing quotes
- If travel is included in the price
- Who turns up on the day
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included

How the visit works
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
- Once cured, usually by the day after, you can use the shower.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Repairs by material
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, 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.

What else we do in Upper End
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
FAQs for Upper End
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire shower tray and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
Yes. Add it to your quote and we’ll do both on one visit.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Upper End included. Travel is included in the price.
What happens next?
You will get a fixed quote back, generally with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
Can you fix a cracked tray?
Often. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Do you come to Upper End?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Upper End and the rest of Derbyshire. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Repair or replace: which is better?
The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing it takes one visit. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
