Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Questions from Catherine Slack

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

What does shower tray repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

Do you redo the sealant?

Yes, if you’d like us to. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes. We can resurface the entire tray for a fresh finish.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

When we’d advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Trays cracked in several places
  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

  • Cast iron
  • Acrylic
  • Enamelled steel
  • Ceramic
  • Stone resin

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best:

  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Ventilate the room after showers

Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.

Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you can’t see.

Do you need shower tray repair in Catherine Slack?

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Chips usually come from dropped bottles.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Scratches in the surface
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot

Our hiring checklist

What we do, step by step

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We make sure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can typically be used the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Landlord and trade work in Catherine Slack

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The type of damage
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many items we do on one visit

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole shower tray, we can price the job without visiting.

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Catherine Slack. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
