How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed price

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

For a price in Almholme, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Almholme

How soon can you come?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

What information do you need?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, because water may be getting underneath.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

Can you quote from pictures?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Can I fix it myself?

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

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, and the work is guaranteed.

What happens on the day

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, including clearing up.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Clear the area around the damage

Landlords, agents and businesses in Almholme

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple:

  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Rinse the tray after each shower

Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.

Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below isn’t visible.

Honest limits

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Different materials, different repairs

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

What we are called out for in Almholme

Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.

Common reasons people in Almholme contact us include:

  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • A cracked shower tray
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it

What your quote should include

  • How soon you can use it again
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Who turns up on the day
