How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Access to the area
- Doing more than one item at once
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- Where you are, by postcode
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Natural light rather than flash
- A photo taken from further back
For a price in Gravel Castle, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Common questions in Gravel Castle
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Kent, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you redo the sealant?
We can. After a repair is a good time to reseal.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
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.
How to look after the repair
Aftercare is simple:
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Use the extractor fan
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below is not visible.
Repair or replace: which is better?
The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair is one visit. Prices start from £95. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

The process
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Landlord and trade work in Gravel Castle
If you manage property in Gravel Castle, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
When to call us in Gravel Castle
Most cracked trays are trays that flex: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Chips on the edges
- A tray that flexes
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
- Scratches in the surface
Questions to ask before you book
- What aftercare is recommended
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- How the colour is matched
- What protection goes down before work starts
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
