How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Yawl. The price reflects:
- What the surface is made of
- What kind of damage it is
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Quotes from your pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Where you are, by postcode
- One picture of the entire shower tray
- Any details about the material
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

How we handle shower tray repair in Yawl
You don’t always need a new tray. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, which is far less work than a replacement. We work on enamelled steel, acrylic and ceramic, and the jobs we see most are a crack across the base and scratches in the surface.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Dorset.

Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
What a repair can’t fix
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- 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)
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Materials we repair
- Stone resin
- Cast iron

Your questions about shower tray repair in Yawl

Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Check the seal every few months
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
What your shower tray is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
