What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • How many areas need work
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What kind of damage it is

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How to get a fixed quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • One picture of the whole shower tray
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

How it works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  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 tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Before we arrive

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Ask for a price

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

10 questions to ask before booking

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.

Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Replace failing sealant promptly

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.

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

When we’d advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • A tray broken in more than one place

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

Your questions about shower tray repair in Downside

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Can you quote from photos?

Usually, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes. The entire tray can be resurfaced.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, in case water is getting through.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new shower tray frequently means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. A repair leaves all of that untouched. Prices start from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
