Why repair rather than replace?
The tray is typically the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, tidy-up included.

- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.

Typically, if the tray is firmly supported. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.

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

Everywhere in the UK, Bolehill included. Travel is included in the price.

What happens next?
We come back with a fixed price. There is no obligation to book.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Store bottles off the tray
Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
