If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- A cracked shower tray
- A tray that flexes
- Chips caused during fitting
What your quote should include
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers

Can I fix it myself?
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.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Access to the area
- The material and finish
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Getting a price from photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
- The material, if you know it
- Natural light rather than flash
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Work for landlords and builders
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Welch Whittle: your questions answered
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
What does shower tray repair cost?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
How to look after the repair
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they can’t be knocked over.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below isn’t visible.
What a repair cannot fix
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- Trays cracked in several places
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Enamelled steel
- Ceramic
- Cast iron
- Acrylic
- Stone resin
What happens on the day
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
How to get a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
