What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Access to the area
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How much damage there is

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.

Quotes from your pictures

Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.

Shower tray repair in Blackmore End without replacing anything

We repair plenty of shower trays. Chipped edges, cracks and worn finishes are all things we fix in place. We’re frequently asked to fix a dull, stained or worn surface and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot, on stone resin, cast iron and enamelled steel.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

How to care for the repair

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Use the extractor fan

Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

Questions from Blackmore End

The entire UK, including all of Hertfordshire. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.

How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Blackmore End?

Is it messy?

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

Is it safe with children and pets around?

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

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes. We can resurface the whole tray for a fresh finish without removing it.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Repairs by material

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

When to call us in Blackmore End

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: without a solid, level base underneath, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

Clients normally contact us about:

  • A tray that flexes
  • Scratches in the surface
  • A cracked shower tray
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom

Questions to ask before booking

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether the price covers travel

10 questions to ask before you book

Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

For anyone letting property in or around Blackmore End, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.
