What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Bridgeton. The price reflects:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Unusual colours or finishes

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Bridgeton. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One picture of the entire shower tray

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

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.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Bridgeton

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

How the visit works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It generally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Related advice

What we can’t put right

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

What we work on

  • Cast iron
  • Enamelled steel
  • Acrylic
  • Stone resin
  • Ceramic

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

Bridgeton questions

When can I use the shower again?

We’ll give you the curing time on the day, typically the next day.

Is there any odour?

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

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire shower tray and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Bridgeton

Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On solid floors, cracks typically point to an uneven base.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • A tray that flexes
  • Chipped corners or rims
  • A crack across the base
  • A damaged area around the waste

What to look for in a quote

  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • What preparation is included
  • Who will actually do the work

10 questions to ask before booking

What your shower tray is made of matters

Enamelled steel

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

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
