Should you replace it?
A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it is not: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing it takes one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

See our pricing.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
What a repair can’t fix
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Multiple cracks across the tray

Westhead: your questions answered
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
How long before I can shower?
Typically the day after. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, in case water is getting through.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
What we do, step by step
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- 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.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is typically usable the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Advice
Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Get a moving tray checked
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Rinse the tray after each shower
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they can’t be knocked over.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.
Different materials, different repairs
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Westhead. What changes the price is:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How much damage there is
- The colour and finish to match
- The material
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Getting a price from photos
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- The material, if you know it
- Something in shot to show the size
- One picture of the entire shower tray
- Natural light rather than flash
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
