Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to California. The price depends on:
- How many areas need work
- Access to the area
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether we combine several jobs
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- Any details about the material
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.

Repair or replace: which is better?
A new shower tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Check the seal every few months
- Stick to gentle cleaners
Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.
Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.
Common problems we fix in California
Dull and stained trays are generally down to cleaning: abrasive pads, strong chemicals and limescale strip the surface finish.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
- Cracks running from the waste
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- Damage from a refit or building work
What to look for in a quote

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
We would stop using it until it’s repaired, because water may be getting underneath.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
What your shower tray is made of matters
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Landlords, agents and businesses in California
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Honest limits
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
