How we handle shower tray repair in Breeds

Repair or replace in Breeds?
A new shower tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Do you need shower tray repair in Breeds?
On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On solid floors, cracks usually point to an uneven base.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- Scratches in the surface
- A dull, stained or worn surface
- A damaged area around the waste
Questions to ask before you book

- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

What affects the price in Breeds
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- What the surface is made of
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The size and number of damaged areas
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
Quotes from your photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- The material, if you know it
- A photo taken from further back
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
How the visit works
We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface in most cases. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Landlord and trade work in Breeds
For anyone letting property in or around Breeds, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, 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.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.
DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
