Repairing versus replacing in Wickham St Paul
If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is typically best. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- Access to the area
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The type of damage
- Unusual colours or finishes
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Wickham St Paul. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A photo taken from further back
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
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.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Wickham St Paul
Dull and stained trays are normally down to cleaning: abrasive pads, strong chemicals and limescale strip the surface finish.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Chips on the edges
- Damage from a refit or building work
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- Cracks running from the waste
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
Repairs by material
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.
Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
- Store bottles off the tray
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you can’t see.
What we do, step by step
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is generally usable the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
