How it works
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
How to get a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.
Advice
Why repair rather than replace?
A new shower tray usually means removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
What your shower tray is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.
Honest limits
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What kind of damage it is
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. 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.
How to get a fixed quote
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A picture taken from further back
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- 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 will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
