Repair or replace: which is better?
The tray is typically the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

How to look after the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
What a repair cannot fix
We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

The process
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, tidy-up included.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- It’s left to cure, generally until the next day.
Before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Clear the area around the damage
- Open a window if you can

Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Common questions in Yarnfield
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
Typically, if the tray is firmly supported. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.
When can I use the shower again?
We’ll give you the curing time on the day, normally the following day.
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
We can. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can tenants book a repair?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
When to call us in Yarnfield
Rigid trays don’t bend, they crack when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Chips caused during fitting
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- A tray that flexes
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
