How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
How to get a fixed quote
You can take the pictures on your phone. Ensure they show:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A picture taken from further back
Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your BA11 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Should you replace it?
A new shower tray often means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. A repair leaves all of that untouched and costs far less. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Check the seal every few months
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you cannot see.
What your shower tray is made of matters
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

Related advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
For anyone letting property in or around Frome, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

- Chipped corners or rims
- Movement when you stand on it
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
