What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many areas need work
  • What the surface is made of
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • One picture of the whole shower tray
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your SK13 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Shower tray repair in Chisworth without replacing anything

Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the repair lasts. We regularly repair cast iron, enamelled steel and ceramic, and the jobs we see most are a damaged area around the waste and chips caused during fitting.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

When to call us in Chisworth

Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On solid floors, cracks generally point to an uneven base.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Chipped corners or rims
  • A cracked shower tray
  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot

Before you book anyone

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What prep work is covered

10 questions to ask before booking

Questions from Chisworth

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.

What information do you need?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Do you work in Chisworth?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Chisworth. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, in case water is getting through.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes. The entire tray can be resurfaced.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Looking after it afterwards

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Report any creaking or movement early

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they can’t be knocked over.

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

The process

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

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

How to prepare

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Open a window if you can

How to get a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

What we can’t put right

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Trays cracked in several places
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
