Shower tray repair across Columbia and nearby, done in a single visit in most cases and guaranteed for a year.
- Repairs from £95

Should you replace it?
A new shower tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and tiling again. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Why book with us
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- No need to remove anything
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Work done at your home or business

Shower tray repair in Columbia without replacing anything
We check the tray before repairing it: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, otherwise any crack returns. We’ll explain what we find. Common call-outs are for chipped corners or rims and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it, in cast iron, stone resin and ceramic.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it.

When a repair isn’t the answer
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- Leaking waste fittings
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Ceramic
- Acrylic
- Enamelled steel
- Stone resin
- Cast iron
Repairs by material
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How much damage there is
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Details of any past repairs
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
Signs you need shower tray repair in Columbia
The waste is a common starting point for cracks, because that is where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Cracks running from the waste
- A tray that flexes
- Chipped corners or rims
- Staining and dullness across the tray
Before you book anyone
- Who will actually do the work
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether the price covers travel
- Whether they match the colour on site
Landlord and trade work in Columbia
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Columbia as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
The process
Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- The repair is colour matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
- Once cured, generally by the next day, you can use the shower.
How to prepare
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Your questions about shower tray repair in Columbia
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You are under no obligation.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
