About our shower tray repair in Battisford Tye
A cracked or chipped shower tray doesn’t always need replacing. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. We work on ceramic, enamelled steel and stone resin, and the jobs we see most are damage from a refit or building work and a crack across the base.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Why repair rather than replace?
A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it is not: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. A repair is one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Battisford Tye. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

FAQs for Battisford Tye
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
We can. After a repair is a good time to reseal.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
How do I book?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Get a moving tray checked
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Stick to gentle cleaners
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Battisford Tye. The price reflects:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The type of damage
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many items we do on one visit
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Natural light rather than flash

For landlords and businesses
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Battisford Tye use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
The process
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, tidy-up included.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
How to prepare
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let us know about parking or access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Getting a price
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
