How we handle shower tray repair in Baffins

Shower tray repairs are one of our most common jobs. Chipped edges, cracks and worn finishes can all be put right without removing the tray. We regularly repair enamelled steel, cast iron and ceramic, and common reasons people contact us are chips or cracks by the plughole and edge chips from dropped bottles.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Baffins questions

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, in case water is getting through.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

How do I book?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

Are there extra charges for Baffins?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

How much does shower tray repair cost in Baffins?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

Do you redo the sealant?

Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Repair or replace in Baffins?

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. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

What you get with us

  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

What your shower tray is made of matters

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Baffins

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • Movement when you stand on it
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it

Questions to ask before booking

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What aftercare is recommended

Our hiring checklist

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The colour and finish to match
  • What the surface is made of
  • The type of damage

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Quotes from your pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

The process

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. It’s left to cure, generally until the next day.

How to prepare

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Ask for a price

Send us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your PO3 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
