Shower tray repair at your home in World's End
A cracked or chipped shower tray doesn’t always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can typically be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. Our technicians work on cast iron, stone resin and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are a cracked shower tray and chips or cracks by the plughole.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Common questions in World's End
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What does shower tray repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your RH15 postcode.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
How long before I can shower?
Generally the day after. We will confirm before we leave.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- The colour and finish to match
- How many areas need work
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Quotes from your pictures
You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A photo taken from further back
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff:
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Stick to gentle cleaners
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you cannot see.
The process
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
- It’s left to cure, normally until the day after.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Related advice
Should you replace it?
Replacing a tray usually means removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. 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’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
