The process

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  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

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Advice

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a tray typically means removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and tiling again. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. 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.

Why book with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • A fixed quote before you book

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What the surface is made of
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The colour and finish to match

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

How to get a fixed price

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Caddington, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Caddington

On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On solid floors, cracks generally point to an uneven base.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Cracks running from the waste
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • A damaged area around the waste
  • Chips caused during fitting

What to look for in a quote

Our hiring checklist

Your questions about shower tray repair in Caddington

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

How do I book?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Caddington?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

Do you reseal the tray as well?

Yes, if you’d like us to. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.

What a repair can’t fix

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • A tray broken in more than one place

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

What we work on

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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, and the work is guaranteed.

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

Looking after it afterwards

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

  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Report any creaking or movement early

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

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.
