Should you replace it?
If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is usually best. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Prices start from £95. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What happens on the day
We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Ensure the area is dry
Ask for a price
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Westenhanger
If you manage property in Westenhanger, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Westenhanger as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Westenhanger. The price reflects:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How many areas need work
- What the surface is made of
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

When a repair isn’t the answer
We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- Trays cracked in several places
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
Materials we work on in Westenhanger
- Enamelled steel
- Cast iron
- Ceramic
- Stone resin
- Acrylic
Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.
Different materials, different repairs
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
