10 questions to ask before booking

Repair or replace: which is better?

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. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Why book with us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Draycott

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

Honest limits

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath

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

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material and finish
  • The type of damage
  • The size and number of damaged areas

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your photos

You can take the photos on your phone. Just ensure we can see:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The material, if you know it
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Something in shot to show the size

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

How the visit works

We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
