Normally by the following day. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
When a repair is not the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It usually takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Getting a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire shower tray, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- The colour and finish to match
- What kind of damage it is
- How many items we do on one visit
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Getting a price from photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A picture taken from further back
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Can I fix it myself?
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, and the work is guaranteed.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
