Honest limits

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • A tray broken in more than one place

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Materials we repair

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

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What the surface is made of

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your pictures

You can take the pictures on your phone. Ensure they show:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One picture of the whole shower tray

Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your SA14 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

The process

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
  5. It’s left to cure, normally until the day after.

How to prepare

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Clear the area around the damage

  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
