What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Compton Valence. The price comes down to:

  • The material and finish
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The type of damage
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Send photos for a quote

Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Any details about the material

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Common problems we fix in Compton Valence

Rigid trays don’t bend, they crack when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.

Common reasons people in Compton Valence contact us include:

  • Chipped corners or rims
  • A tray that flexes
  • Chips caused during fitting
  • Scuffs and light scratches

How to compare quotes

Your questions about shower tray repair in Compton Valence

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

What areas do you cover?

The entire UK, including all of Dorset. Send your postcode with your photos and we will confirm dates.

Are there extra charges for Compton Valence?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

In most cases. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

Landlord and trade work in Compton Valence

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Compton Valence as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

Why repair rather than replace?

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. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why us?

  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

How it works

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Ask for a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Advice

Repairs by material

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

Honest limits

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

  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
