Questions from Carpalla
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Carpalla?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Can you fix a cracked tray?
Frequently. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
What your shower tray is made of matters
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- The material
- What kind of damage it is
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Doing more than one item at once
We do not add 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.
Quotes from your photos
You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One picture of the entire shower tray
- Details of any past repairs
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
- Rinse the tray after each shower
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they cannot be knocked over.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.
Repairing versus replacing in Carpalla
The tray is generally the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so taking one out disturbs a lot. A repair keeps everything as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

When a repair isn’t the answer
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Trays cracked in several places
- Leaking waste fittings
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
