What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What the surface is made of
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- The material, if you know it
- Where you are, by postcode
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One sharp close-up of the damage
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
Shower tray repair in Bigby without replacing anything
A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can usually be repaired in place, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. We are often asked to fix a dull, stained or worn surface and snagging damage in a new bathroom, in acrylic, cast iron and stone resin.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

What we’re called out for in Bigby
A tired-looking tray is frequently the result of years of cleaning: limescale, harsh chemicals and abrasive pads wear the finish away.
Most people contact us when they notice something like this:
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- Damage from a refit or building work
- A tray that flexes
Questions to ask before booking
- If travel is included in the price
- How changes to the job are handled
- What aftercare is recommended
- What preparation is included
DIY kit or professional repair?
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, then guarantee it for a year.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
What we cannot put right
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- Trays cracked in several places
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron
- Enamelled steel
- Acrylic
- Ceramic
- Stone resin
Work for landlords and builders
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Bigby use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
How to care for the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Store bottles off the tray
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they can’t be knocked over.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.

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 early repairs help.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
The process
We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Getting a price
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Bigby
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.
Do you come to Bigby?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Bigby for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
Yes. Add it to your quote and we will do both on one visit.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
