What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How many areas need work
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of 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.

Send photos for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • One picture of the whole shower tray
  • What it’s made of, if you know

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

How we handle shower tray repair in Cowhill

The first thing we do is check the tray: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, otherwise any crack returns. We will tell you if that’s the case. Typical jobs include edge chips from dropped bottles and scratches in the surface, in stone resin, ceramic and enamelled steel.

Rural addresses like Cowhill just need a little planning, and we will plan the visit around it.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

How it works

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring all our kit in the van, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It normally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work. Somewhere as small as Cowhill, access is usually the main thing to plan. Once we are there, the shower tray repair works exactly as anywhere else.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

How to get a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Replace failing sealant promptly

Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.

Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below isn’t visible.

When we’d advise against a repair

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • A tray broken in more than one place

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Our hiring checklist

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
