How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Chigwell Row. The price reflects:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material
  • How hard the colour is to match

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Details of any past repairs

To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

How the visit works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We ensure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. The repair is colour-matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can usually be used the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Open a window if you can

How to get a price

Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your IG7 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Materials we repair

  • Cast iron
  • Acrylic
  • Enamelled steel
  • Stone resin

When to call us in Chigwell Row

Cracks frequently start at the waste, where the tray is cut and the fitting is tightened.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed:

Questions to ask before booking

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Store bottles off the tray

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

Can I fix it myself?

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.

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