- We clean up and give you the curing time.

Shower tray repair in California, done in place

Repairing versus replacing in California
Replacing a tray typically means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. Repairing it avoids all of that, at a fraction of the cost. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
What you get with us
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- A fixed quote before booking
- Colour-matched on site
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
See our prices page.
Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to California. The price comes down to:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Access to the area
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Send pictures for a quote
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The material, if you know it
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
FAQs for California
Can you fix a cracked tray?
In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
Do you redo the sealant?
Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Do you cover the whole of Buckinghamshire?
The whole UK, including all of Buckinghamshire. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Get a moving tray checked
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you can’t see.
