What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many items we do on one visit

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The material, if you know it

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

How we handle shower tray repair in Brereton Heath

Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, or resurface the whole tray if it’s worn. Nothing is taken out, so the enclosure and tiles aren’t disturbed. We work on stone resin, enamelled steel and ceramic, and the jobs we see most are chips or cracks by the plughole and staining and dullness across the tray.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

How to care for the repair

Aftercare is simple:

  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Store bottles off the tray

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so taking one out disturbs a lot. A repair keeps everything as it is. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Brereton Heath. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why us?

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Same prices wherever you are

See our prices page.

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Ensure the area is dry

Common problems we fix in Brereton Heath

Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Chips typically come from dropped bottles.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • A crack across the base
  • Damage around the waste

Before booking anyone

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • How soon you can use it again

How to compare quotes

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

For anyone letting property in or around Brereton Heath, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Common questions in Brereton Heath

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

Yes, if you’d like us to. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

Typically, as long as it doesn’t flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

What a repair can’t fix

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Multiple cracks across the tray

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
