How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • What the surface is made of

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for East Hyde. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

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

  • Any details about the material
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A photo taken from further back

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 will reply with a fixed quote.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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, a professional repair is worth it.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

East Hyde: your questions answered

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

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

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

What happens after I send pictures?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Do you work in East Hyde?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to East Hyde. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Luton.

How the visit works

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

How to prepare

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know about parking or access

Advice

What your shower tray is made of matters

Enamelled steel

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

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Landlord and trade work in East Hyde

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

What we cannot put right

We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • 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 photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in East Hyde

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

Looking after it afterwards

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they cannot be knocked over.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
