- Repairs from £95

Repair or replace: which is better?
A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it is not: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair is one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, 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 we handle shower tray repair in Eaton
The first thing we do is check the tray: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, or the crack will come back. We’ll tell you if that’s the case. If you’re dealing with scratches in the surface and damage around the waste, we can help, whatever the material.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Eaton
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
What does shower tray repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your NG32 postcode.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.
Can you fix a cracked tray?
Normally, if the tray is firmly supported. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.
How long before I can shower?
Generally the next day. We will confirm before we leave.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron
- Ceramic

What we’re called out for in Eaton
Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Damage around the waste
- A crack across the base
- Scratches in the surface
- A tray that flexes
What to look for in a quote
- How the colour is matched
- How soon you can use it again
- What preparation is included
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.
How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- The material and finish
- How hard the colour is to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The size and number of damaged areas
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from photos
You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One picture of the whole shower tray
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
How the visit works
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- We make sure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
- The tray is left to cure and can typically be used the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Have a window or extractor fan available
How to get a price
We price from pictures 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, and you will get a fixed figure back.
