Repair or replace in Abbeystead?
The tray is normally the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. A repair keeps everything as it is. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What a repair can’t fix
A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- A tray that moves underfoot
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- Multiple cracks across the tray
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Stone resin
- Ceramic
- Enamelled steel
- Acrylic
- Cast iron
For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
What happens on the day
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Getting a price
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Abbeystead. The price reflects:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material
- How hard the colour is to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed price
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any details about the material
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
Send us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Abbeystead, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
- Store bottles off the tray
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.
