Cantref questions

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

What does shower tray repair cost?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your NP7 postcode.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Do you reseal the tray as well?

Yes. Add it to your quote and we’ll do both on one visit.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

Frequently. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.

How do I book?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Access to the area
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your pictures

Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. Try to include:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any details about the material

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Landlord and trade work in Cantref

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

How to care for the repair

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated

Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.

Repairs by material

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. 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.

How the visit works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  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. It’s left to cure, typically until the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Getting a price

Repairing versus replacing in Cantref

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
