Driver's End: your questions answered

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

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

Do you cover Driver's End?

We do. We send a technician to Driver's End for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

What does shower tray repair cost?

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

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Repairs by material

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

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

What we cannot put right

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

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

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

Materials we work on in Driver's End

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

How to look after the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Get a moving tray checked

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

Repairing versus replacing in Driver's End

Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Why us?

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Fixed prices from your photos

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed price

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One picture of the whole shower tray
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Common problems we fix in Driver's End

  • Scratches in the surface
  • A tray that flexes

What your quote should include

  • How the colour is matched

  • Who will actually do the work
