Repairing versus replacing in Apsley
A new shower tray often means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. A repair leaves all of that untouched and costs far less. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- The repair is colour-matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
- Once cured, typically by the following day, you can use the shower.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Open a window if you can

Advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Apsley
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
Generally, if the tray is firmly supported. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple:
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
- Get a moving tray checked
- Stick to gentle cleaners
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.
