How to look after the repair

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Report any creaking or movement early

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.

About our shower tray repair in Cheapside

The first thing we do is check the tray: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, otherwise any crack returns. We’ll tell you if that is the case. Common call-outs are for chips or cracks by the plughole and scuffs and light scratches, across cast iron, stone resin and ceramic.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

What shower tray repair costs

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

  • The material
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Send photos for a quote

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One picture of the whole shower tray

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Why repair rather than replace?

The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing it takes one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What we do, step by step

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  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. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let us know about parking or access

Getting a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

Related advice

Different materials, different repairs

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

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.

Questions from Cheapside

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Common problems we fix in Cheapside

A tired-looking tray is often the result of years of cleaning: limescale, harsh chemicals and abrasive pads strip the surface finish.

Most people contact us when they notice something like this:

  • A crack across the base
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom

  • How soon you can use it again

When we’d advise against a repair

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
