What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • The material, if you know it
  • One picture of the whole shower tray
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Different materials, different repairs

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

What we do, step by step

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. It normally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Why repair rather than replace?

A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it isn’t: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. Repairing it takes one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why Burslem clients choose us

  • Colour-matched on site
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • No extra charge for your area

Take a look at our prices page.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Work for landlords and builders

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

When to call us in Burslem

Most chips come from things dropped in the shower, typically on the edges or near the plughole.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Movement when you stand on it
  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • Chips caused during fitting
  • Damage around the waste

Questions to ask before booking

  • What prep work is covered
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

Questions from Burslem

Is there a guarantee?

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

Do you cover Burslem?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Burslem from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Do you cover the whole of Stoke-on-Trent?

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

Do I need to be at home?

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

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
