How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What kind of damage it is

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

Getting a price from pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Any details about the material
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Upload pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, with your SO32 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new shower tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Dean questions

What does shower tray repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

Usually, as long as it doesn’t flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes. We can resurface the entire tray for a fresh finish.

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. The repair is colour matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is typically usable the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Open a window if you can

Getting a price

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Advice

Repairs by material

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.

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.

What a repair can’t fix

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • A tray that moves underfoot

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

What we work on

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

For landlords and businesses

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Common problems we fix in Dean

Dull and stained trays are generally down to cleaning: limescale, harsh chemicals and abrasive pads wear the finish away.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • Cracks running from the waste
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole

What to look for in a quote

  • What preparation is included
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Who turns up on the day

Our hiring checklist

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they can’t be knocked over.

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.
