What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material
  • How much damage there is

There are no surprise 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.

Quotes from your pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One picture of the entire shower tray
  • The material, if you know it
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

For a price in Burnside of Duntrune, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Work for landlords and builders

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Burnside of Duntrune: your questions answered

Do you cover the whole of Dundee?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Burnside of Duntrune. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

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

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.

Do you reseal the tray as well?

Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Are there extra charges for Burnside of Duntrune?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Stick to gentle cleaners

Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.

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.

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

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

The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we are 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.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can generally be used the next day.

Preparing for the visit

Advice

What a repair can’t fix

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray

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

What we work on

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
