What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- How much damage there is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What the surface is made of
- Doing more than one item at once
Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Quotes from your pictures
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
- The material, if you know it
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
Shower tray repair in Watchgate, done in place
Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the crack doesn’t come back. We work on enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic, and common reasons people get in touch are a dull, stained or worn surface and chips or cracks by the plughole.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

What else we do in Watchgate
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so taking one out disturbs a lot. A repair keeps everything as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, 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.
Why us?
- One price list for the entire UK
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

When a repair is not the answer
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- Trays cracked in several places
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair

Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is 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 pictures, as it can add time.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
For landlords and businesses
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
For anyone letting property in or around Watchgate, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
- Store bottles off the tray
- Rinse the tray after each shower
Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.
How the visit works
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, including clearing up.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- The tray is left to cure and can usually be used the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
