What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • How much damage there is
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Flimwell. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any details about the material

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, and you will get a fixed figure back.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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.

Repair or replace in Flimwell?

When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. In an older home in a village like Flimwell, replacing a shower tray can be harder than it sounds: original pieces may not match modern sizes, and access can be awkward. A repair keeps the original.

Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What you get with us

  • Fixed quotes from pictures
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Same prices wherever you are

Honest limits

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

  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

What happens on the day

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and the room is left clean and tidy. Somewhere like Flimwell needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the shower tray repair comes with us in one trip.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is generally usable the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Ensure the area is dry

Your questions about shower tray repair in Flimwell

I let a flat near Etchingham station. Can you help between tenants?

Yes, we frequently work between tenancies, and we can quote for several properties together.

Do you come out to small places like Flimwell?

Yes, we do: Flimwell is covered like any town. Just mention any tricky access.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

What do you need from me?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

How to look after the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Stick to gentle cleaners

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below isn’t visible.

Common problems we fix in Flimwell

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • A damaged area around the waste
  • Chipped corners or rims
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot

Landlords with property near Etchingham station (about 3 miles south) use us between tenancies, so shower trays are repaired rather than replaced.
