What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material
- How much damage there is
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 combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from photos
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The material, if you know it
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

How to look after the repair
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Get a moving tray checked
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.
Do you need shower tray repair in Frome Vauchurch?
The waste is a common starting point for cracks, because that is where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Movement when you stand on it
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- Chipped corners or rims
- A damaged area around the waste

Landlords, agents and businesses in Frome Vauchurch
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
When we would advise against a repair
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- A tray that moves underfoot
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Stone resin
- Ceramic
- Acrylic
- Cast iron
- Enamelled steel
What your shower tray is made of matters
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.
Repairing versus replacing in Frome Vauchurch
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. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How it works
You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It generally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
- It’s left to cure, generally until the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
