Expert Shower Tray Repair UK
A cracked or chipped shower tray is not only unsightly — it can let water seep beneath the tray, causing damage to your floor and substructure. Shazam Repairs provides professional on-site shower tray repair that fixes the problem without the disruption and cost of full replacement.
Common Shower Tray Problems We Fix
We repair cracks (hairline and larger stress fractures), chips and gouges, discolouration and yellowing, scratches, and worn or rough surface textures. Our technicians work on acrylic, fibreglass, stone resin, and ceramic shower trays.
Why Repair Rather Than Replace?
Replacing a shower tray is a major job — it involves removing tiles, disconnecting the plumbing, and significant redecoration. It typically costs £400–£1,200 or more and takes 2–3 days. A professional shower tray repair is priced after a free assessment and is completed on-site in a few hours, with no disruption to tiling or plumbing.
The Shower Tray Repair Process
Our technician cleans and prepares the damaged area, applies specialist repair compounds to fill and reshape the surface, colour-matches the finish to your tray, and applies a hardwearing topcoat. The result is a seamless repair that’s invisible to the eye. The shower can be used again within 24 hours.

Frequently Asked Questions About Shower Tray Repair
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired, or does it need replacing?
In the majority of cases, a cracked shower tray can be fully repaired on-site by a professional technician. Using colour-matched resin compounds and specialist finishing techniques, cracks can be filled and sealed so they are both watertight and virtually invisible. Replacement is only necessary when the structural damage is extremely extensive or the tray has completely collapsed.
How long does a shower tray repair take, and can I use the shower the same day?
Most shower tray repairs take between one and two hours to complete on-site. The curing time for the repair resin means you should typically wait at least 4–6 hours before using the shower again. Your technician will advise you on the specific aftercare for your repair, including how soon the shower can be used and any ongoing maintenance recommendations.
How much does it cost to repair a shower tray in the UK?
Shower tray repair in the UK is priced after a free assessment, depending on the size of the crack or chip, the material of the tray (acrylic, stone resin, or fibreglass), and your location. This is significantly cheaper than the £400–£1,500+ cost of a full shower tray replacement, which also requires a plumber and potential tiling work.

Can a bath chip or crack really be repaired without replacement?

Yes. Shazam Repairs technicians work on acrylic, pressed steel, enamel, cast iron, fibreglass and stone-resin baths. The materials and techniques we use are matched to the specific bath substrate.
