What your shower tray is made of matters
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a tray typically means removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Prices start from £95. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

The process
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
- Once cured, generally by the day after, you can use the shower.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- The colour and finish to match
- What kind of damage it is
- The material
- How many items we do on one visit
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed price
Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- What it’s made of, if you know
To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.
What we cannot put right
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Leaking waste fittings
- A tray that moves underfoot
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron
- Enamelled steel
- Ceramic
- Acrylic
- Stone resin
Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Use the extractor fan
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.
Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.
