Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Get a moving tray checked

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you cannot see.

When we would advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Can I fix it myself?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Abinger: your questions answered

What happens next?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

Can you price it without visiting?

Normally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.

What does shower tray repair cost?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Are there extra charges for Abinger?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

When can you do it?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

What we do, step by step

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Quotes from your photos

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The material, if you know it
  • Something in shot to show the size

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Should you replace it?

The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair is one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Abinger. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Repairs by material

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.
