What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The type of damage
  • The size and number of damaged areas

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The material, if you know it
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.

Aimes Green: your questions answered

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Can you quote from photos?

Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

Frequently. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Landlord and trade work in Aimes Green

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

For anyone letting property in or around Aimes Green, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

How the visit works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. Once cured, usually by the following day, you can use the shower.

Preparing for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Ask for a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Advice

When we’d advise against a repair

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

  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Leaking waste fittings

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

  • Cast iron
  • Stone resin
  • Enamelled steel
  • Acrylic
  • Ceramic

Repairing versus replacing in Aimes Green

Replacing a tray typically means taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and re-tiling. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why us?

  • Colour-matched on site
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Work done at your home or business
  • No need to remove anything

What we’re called out for in Aimes Green

Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Timber floors that move can cause it too.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • A crack across the base
  • Chips on the edges
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom

Comparing quotes

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Aftercare advice
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

10 questions to ask before booking

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
  • Rinse the tray after each shower

Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.

Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.
