Backbower questions
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Do you reseal the tray as well?
Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, normally with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.
When can I use the shower again?
Normally by the following day. We will confirm before we leave.
What does shower tray repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

Materials and what they mean for the repair
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.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Backbower. The price reflects:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material
- The colour and finish to match
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. Try to include:
- A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
- The material, if you know it
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
For a price in Backbower, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Use the extractor fan
Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you can’t see.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Repairing versus replacing in Backbower
When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
