What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- What the surface is made of
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Unusual colours or finishes
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 doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Where you are, by postcode
- A picture taken from further back
Most clients in Byford get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Stick to gentle cleaners
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.
Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and re-tiling. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

The process
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- It’s left to cure, normally until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know which floor the room is on

FAQs for Byford
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
What happens after I send photos?
We come back with a fixed quote, usually with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
What do you need from me?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
How much does shower tray repair cost in Byford?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Herefordshire.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What we are called out for in Byford
Trays crack mainly because they move: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Damage around the waste
- Cracks running from the waste
- Chips on the edges
- Movement when you stand on it
Questions to ask before booking
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- What preparation is included
- How to care for the finish
- How the room is protected while they work
Different materials, different repairs
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
