DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

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 a repair can’t fix

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Ardleigh Green. What changes the price is:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How much damage there is
  • How hard the colour is to match

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed price

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
  • Where you are, by postcode

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. 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 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. The job typically takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  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

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

What your shower tray is made of matters

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Ardleigh Green

Dull and stained trays are generally down to cleaning: abrasive pads, strong chemicals and limescale wear the finish away.

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf

Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.

Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you can’t see.
