What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Upshire. The price depends on:
- The type of damage
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material and finish
- Access to the area
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
Send pictures for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The material, if you know it
- A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
- Where you are, by postcode
To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Repairs by material
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
How to look after the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Get a moving tray checked
- Check the seal every few months
- Ventilate the room after showers
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below isn’t visible.
DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Your questions about shower tray repair in Upshire
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Essex.
What happens after I send pictures?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote.

For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
