Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Check the seal every few months
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.
What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Boddam. The price depends on:
- The material
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The type of damage
- Whether we combine several jobs
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Send photos for a quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A photo taken from further back
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Where you are, by postcode
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Repairing versus replacing in Boddam
If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is normally best. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise 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.
Why us?
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- Work done at your home or business
- Most jobs done in one visit

Boddam questions
What information do you need?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
Usually, if the tray is firmly supported. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
What happens if you find more damage?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 frequently lifts.

Repairs by material
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
What we cannot put right
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
