How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Canford Heath. The price reflects:
- The colour and finish to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- Access to the area
- The material and finish
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Send pictures for a quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- One picture of the whole shower tray
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
About our shower tray repair in Canford Heath
The first thing we do is check the tray: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, or the crack will come back. We will tell you if that is the case. Our repair technicians work on enamelled steel, stone resin and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are movement when you stand on it and a damaged area around the waste.
Around Canford Heath, bungalows and family homes frequently have walk-in showers. A firm tray can be repaired where it sits.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

Repairs by material
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so taking one out disturbs a lot. Repairing it avoids that disruption. If your shower tray in Canford Heath is sound, a repair is generally the better choice.
Our shower tray repair starts 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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Advice
What we’re called out for in Canford Heath
Rigid trays don’t bend, they crack if the floor beneath them isn’t flat and fully supported. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Movement when you stand on it
- Scratches in the surface
- A damaged area around the waste
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
If you manage a building such as Ad Astra Infant School, we repair changing-room showers as well as work in homes.
