DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

Repair or replace: which is better?

The tray is typically the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. A repair keeps everything as it is. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why book with us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • No need to remove anything
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

See our prices page.

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach

Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.

Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below is not visible.

What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray in most cases. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is typically usable the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Common questions in Broad Lane

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

Usually, as long as it doesn’t flex. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Which areas do you work in?

The entire UK, including all of Cornwall. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Quotes from your pictures

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Details of any past repairs
  • The material, if you know it
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

When we’d advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Multiple cracks across the tray

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
