Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
How we handle shower tray repair in Upper Knowle
Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. Nothing is taken out, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. We work on acrylic, cast iron and enamelled steel, and people most frequently call us about scratches from cleaning or grit and chips or cracks by the plughole.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

- Damage from a refit or building work
- Scratches in the surface
- A tray that flexes
- A damaged area around the waste
Questions to ask before booking

- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

Repairs by material
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. A repair keeps everything as it is. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material and finish
- How much damage there is
- The colour and finish to match
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 play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- One picture of the whole shower tray
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Something in shot to show the size
To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Store bottles off the tray
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below isn’t visible.
What a repair cannot fix
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- Trays cracked in several places
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- A tray that moves underfoot
