How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What the surface is made of
  • How many areas need work
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed price

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • One picture of the entire shower tray
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

  • A crack across the base
  • Chipped corners or rims

10 questions to ask before booking

What we do, step by step

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  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

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Open a window if you can

Getting a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Advice

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

Ceramic

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

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

Repair or replace in Cleadon?

If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is typically best. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How to care for the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Stick to gentle cleaners

Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.

Work for landlords and builders

If you manage property in Cleadon, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
