What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Access to the area
  • The material

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 make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send photos for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any details about the material
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

We price from photos so you don’t 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.

Dulwich: your questions answered

Can you fix a cracked tray?

Typically, if the tray is firmly supported. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.

Can you quote from photos?

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

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.

How soon can you come?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

We can. After a repair is a good time to reseal.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

Do you work in Dulwich?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Dulwich and the rest of Greater London. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Do you need shower tray repair in Dulwich?

A tired-looking tray is often the result of years of cleaning: abrasive pads, strong chemicals and limescale wear the finish away.

People typically call us when they notice something like this:

  • Cracks running from the waste
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles

Questions to ask before you book

  • How soon you can use it again
  • How the colour is matched
  • If travel is included in the price
  • How changes to the job are handled

10 questions to ask before booking

Repairing versus replacing in Dulwich

A new shower tray frequently means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. A repair leaves all of that untouched, at a fraction of the cost. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How the visit works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  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. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can generally be used the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Dulwich use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
