How the visit works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- We check the tray for movement first.

- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
- It’s left to cure, normally until the next day.
Before we arrive

- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
How to get a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Shower tray repair at your home in Upwey
Shower tray repairs are one of our most common jobs. Chips by the waste, cracks across the base and dull, stained surfaces are all things we fix in place. We are frequently asked to fix movement when you stand on it and snagging damage in a new bathroom, across ceramic, acrylic and stone resin.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
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.
Questions from Upwey
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
What does shower tray repair cost?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can you fix a cracked tray?
In most cases. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.
Are there extra charges for Upwey?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
When can I use the shower again?
You will get the exact time when we finish, typically the next day.
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
Do you work in Upwey?
We do. We send a technician to Upwey for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Upwey. The price reflects:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What kind of damage it is
- How hard the colour is to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
