How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

If you are in Bakewell and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Shower tray repair in Bakewell without replacing anything

A cracked or chipped shower tray doesn’t always need replacing. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, which is far less work than a replacement. We are frequently asked to fix damage from a refit or building work and damage around the waste, across stone resin, acrylic and ceramic.

You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

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.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

How the visit works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. The repair is colour-matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
  5. Once cured, generally by the day after, you can use the shower.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Landlords, agents and businesses in Bakewell

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Bakewell use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

For anyone letting property in or around Bakewell, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

How to look after the repair

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Ventilate the room after showers

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Leaking waste fittings

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we work on in Bakewell

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Bakewell questions

Repairing versus replacing in Bakewell

When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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.
