What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Cobham. The price depends on:

  • The material and finish
  • Access to the area
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Doing more than one item at once

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send pictures for a quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Should you replace it?

When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Why book with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Colour-matched on site
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

How to care for the repair

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

  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated

Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you can’t see.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • A tray that moves underfoot

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

What we work on

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

How it works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can usually be used the next day.

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Related advice

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

FAQs for Cobham

Do you hold any accreditations?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

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

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Different materials, different repairs

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Enamelled steel

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